suju

SuJu, commonly shortened for Super Junior, is a South Korean boy band formed by SM Entertainment in 2005. The group originally debuted with 12 members and released its first album, Twins, in 2005 with the lead single "Twins (Knock Out)". A year later Kyuhyun joined, bringing the lineup to 13 at its peak. Known for its versatile musical style—from pop and dance to R&B and electronic—Super Junior is also recognized for synchronized choreography, humor, and strong vocal performances.

The group's major breakthrough came with the 2009 single "Sorry, Sorry", which topped charts across Asia and established Super Junior as one of the leading acts of the Korean Wave (Hallyu). They have released multiple albums in Korean and Mandarin and earned numerous awards, both domestically and internationally. The group also operates several subunits, including Super Junior-M (Mandarin-language releases) and K.R.Y. (Yesung, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun) for ballads, as well as Super Junior-T, which explores trot-influenced music.

Over the years, members have pursued solo activities in music, hosting, acting, and variety shows, while the group has continued to tour and release music. Their fanbase is primarily known as E.L.F. (Ever Lasting Friends). SuJu remains influential in K-pop for helping to popularize large-idol group formats and contributing to the expansion of the Hallyu wave.
