Super Junior (슈퍼주니어), also known as SuJu, is a South Korean boy band formed by SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo-man in 2005. It began as a 12-member group with rotating members, a concept dropped after Kyuhyun joined in 2006, and debuted on SBS's Inkigayo on November 6, 2005 with "Twins (Knock Out)".1 Its ten current members are Leeteuk (이특), Heechul (희철), Yesung (예성), Shindong (신동), Sungmin (성민), Eunhyuk (은혁), Siwon (시원), Donghae (동해), Ryeowook (려욱) and Kyuhyun (규현); Han Geng, Kibum and Kangin were originally members and left in 2011, 2015 and 2019.1
The group's international breakthrough was "Sorry, Sorry" (2009), which won ten music-show number-one awards in ten consecutive weeks in Korea. Wikipedia credits Super Junior as the best-selling K-pop artist for four years in a row, and says its first Asia-wide tour, Super Show, began in Seoul on February 22, 2008.1 It split into sub-units aimed at different markets: Super Junior-K.R.Y. (2006), the Mandopop-focused Super Junior-M (2008) and Super Junior-D&E, among others.1
In DabPop's archive of MAMA daesang winners the group has three grand prizes: Artist of the Year in 2007, and Album of the Year for Mr. Simple (2011) and Sexy, Free & Single (2012).2 Members also work as solo entertainers. Kyuhyun and Shindong were both cast on Netflix's The Devil's Plan, which DabPop covers in a production feature.3
