Super Junior's music has been proven to be marketable to a wide variety of audiences. Additionally, their success over a wide variety of areas, including but not limited to acting and hosting, has inspired other talent agencies to train their own artists in multiple skills.
Unlike most boy bands, which feature on debut members with little to no experience, Super Junior was created from a group of people with different types of experience, different backgrounds. When the band was founded as a 12-member group in 2005, most of the members had prior experience as actors, radio hosts, or models. Debuting in late 2005, the members of Super Junior, at the time called Super Junior 05, displayed their talents in these areas as well as in singing and dancing. Their first album, TWINS (Knock Out), was a moderate success, but it wasn't until 2006 that the group's major success began.
Originally, Super Junior was slated to be a rotational group, similar to Japanese girlpop sensation Morning Musume. However, the members of Super Junior 05 quickly became so popular with fans that the idea was shelved amidst plans for Super Junior 06. A thirteenth member, Kyuhyun, was added, and, now finalised, Super Junior released their first physical single, U, which sold over 80,000 copies in the six month period that followed. Although the latter half of 2006 and the early part of 2007 was quiet for the group as a whole, with various members participating in individual activities, their popularity continued to grow.
Around this time, sub-groups were formed to showcase different musical styles and target different audiences. Super Junior-K.R.Y. displayed the vocal talents of select members through powerful ballads and Super Junior-T focused on bringing popularity back to the trot genre.
The group's comeback with a second album was also being planned, although these plans had to be shelved when five of the members were injured in two separate car accidents in August 2006 and April 2007. As a result, the second album, Don't Don, wasn't released until September 2007. Compared to the almost 30,000 copies TWINS (Knock Out) sold in its first month of release, 60,000 copies of Don't Don sold by the end of the first week, selling well over 160,000 copies within three months to become the second best-selling album of the year.
A month after the album's release, a new subgroup, Super Junior-M, was announced, featuring five members of the original group as well as newcomers Henry and Zhou Mi. Amongst controversy, the group debuted, with fourth subgroup Super Junior-Happy created to continue activities in Korea in the absence of these members. 2008 focused around activities by these groups, although Super Junior-T made a small comeback in the form of a Japanese-language release of their single Rokkugeo!!!.
Super Junior's third album, Sorry, Sorry was released in March of 2009, with over 150,000 copies preordered within a week of being made available, and sold a further 29,000 copies on the first day of release, beating Seo Taiji's previous record of 25,000.
With the main group going from strength to strength in the homeland, it has been hinted that subgroup Super Junior-M will also release their second album in the later part of 2009.
Super Junior is back, now sporting a sexy, mature image.After two years of waiting, 13 member boyband Super Junior finally release their second album.
While they have been aiming to dispel some of this criticism with live performances and genre-focused subgroups, Super Junior told fans from the beginning that Vol. 3 was to be the album that finally cemented the group's image, showing a more mature side of the members. In fact, before the album's release, the group released a statement asking people to ignore the stereotypes of the past and to listen for themselves before judging.
