Super Junior (Korean (Korean language): ?????), often referred to as SJ or SuJu (??), is a popular boy band from South Korea formed by SM Entertainment in 2005. With a total of 13 members, they are one of the largest boy bands in the world. The group consists of Leeteuk (leader), Heechul, Han Geng, Yesung, Kang-in, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae (Donghae (entertainer)), Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum, and Kyuhyun. The only Chinese (Chinese people) member, Han Geng, was chosen from three thousand applicants via auditions held in China (Peoples Republic of China) by SM Entertainment in 2001. As of 2010, only 10 members are active, due to Han Gengs ongoing lawsuit against SM Entertainment, Kibums pursuit of other interests, and Kang-ins leave of absence for mandatory military service. However, the remaining members have insisted that they are still part of the group.

Super Junior has released and contributed in 20 different kinds of records with varying degrees of success. Over the years, they have been divided into smaller sub groups, simultaneously targeting different music industries and audiences. Largely due to Super Juniors success as entertainers, other Korean entertainment managements began to train their music groups in other areas of entertainment, such as acting and hosting. In addition to their commercial success, Super Junior has earned seven music awards from the M.net Asian Music Awards, eleven from the Golden Disk Awards, and is the second singing group to win Favorite Artist Korea at the 2008 MTV Asia Awards after JTL in 2003.
