2006–2007: "U" and breakthrough success
On May 23, 2006, SM Entertainment announced the addition of a new member, Kyuhyun, being the youngest member. The new thirteen member group released their new single, "U" online for free download on May 25, 2006. "U" had over 400,000 downloads within five hours of release and ultimately exceeded 1.7 million downloads, crashing the server. The single was soon followed by the release of the second semi-promo track, "Endless Moment" on May 29, 2006. The CD single "U" with a total of three tracks was officially released on June 6, 2006, eventually selling over 83,000 units. The title song "U" enjoyed number-one spots for five consecutive weeks on two of Korea's top music programs for the first time in the group's career. The song was crowned as SBS Popular Songs' Mutizen Song of the week as soon as it was released, being the first award for the group since debut. The song then stayed as Mutizen Song for three consecutive weeks on the same program. The song also grabbed top awards from M.NET's M!Countdown for two weeks. When promotions for "U" were still active, a new single, "Dancing Out" was released on July 23, 2006 as part of SMTown's annual summer album. Super Junior had been frequently appearing on various musical and variety programs to promote both of their new singles thereafter. "Dancing Out" collected two awards as soon as it was released. Because their single "Dancing Out" was a special summer single, they had their "Goodbye Special" (performing their last singles "U" and "Dancing Out" for the last time) on SBS Popular Songs on September 3, 2006. With the release of "U", Super Junior collected over seven awards in five of South Korea's music award ceremonies as 2006 came to a close, winning Best New Group and popularity awards.
An official fanclub was created for the group, E.L.F, an alphabetism derived from the phrase "Ever-lasting Friends. Since Korean fans tend to support their idols with a certain balloon color, Super Junior's official color became pearl sapphire blue.
With the start of 2007, the group began to branch out into different splinter groups. Super Junior-K.R.Y, the first subgroup of Super Junior that debuted on November 5, 2006, began to give separate performances away from the group to promote their new songs. In February arrived a second subgroup, Super Junior-T who released their first single, "Rokkugo!!!". Han Geng, who had problems with his visa and was limited to give music performances in South Korea, headed to China and began activities there. On April 19, 2007, four members of Super Junior, Leeteuk, Shindong, Eunhyuk, and Kyuhyun were injured in a car accident that deeply affected the group's schedules and progress. Being the most injured, Kyuhyun was not discharged from the hospital until four months later, therefore unable to participate in the group's single for SMTown, "Full of Happiness" (행복). Nonetheless, the cover from the former boy band H.O.T. accelerated quickly in singles charts in both South Korea and Thailand and soon became a number-one hit in Thailand's international charts a month later.
2007: Don't Don
Heechul's fracture of the femur from a car accident on August 10, 2006 and April 19 car accident prevented Don't Don from being released until September 20, 2007. The group performed their first performance for the album on September 21, 2007 promoting the title track "Don't Don" at KBS's Music Bank. It was their first performance in which the group performed together as thirteen after a whole year.
Within the first three days of release, offline album sales passed the 11,000 mark, debuting as number one, and in close competition with Lee Soo Young's new release. Don't Don finished the September monthly album sales as number one, surpassing Lee Soo Young's and Wheesung's albums. 60,000 units were shipped by the first week of release and additional copies were reprinted. After three months of release, Don't Don sold 164,058 copies, making it Super Junior's best selling album. It was also the second best-selling album of 2007, falling 26,940 copies short of SG Wannabe's The Sentimental Chord.
"Don't Don" rose quickly in music charts a week after release. "Don't Don" won its first recognition, the SBS Inkigayo Mutizen Song, on October 21, 2007 and later on M.NET's M!Countdown, sharing the number one song of the week along with "Everyday" by V.O.S in November.
Unlike previous single "U", "Don't Don" was promoted only for a short time. Super Junior quickly moved to their second single, the R&B ballad "Marry U", a new version of which appeared in the repackaged version of Don't Don. The music video became available for download on November 13, 2007.
Supported by the release of Don't Don, Super Junior was nominated in seven separate categories at the 2007 M.NET/KM Music Festival that was held on November 17, 2007. Super Junior won three of those categories including Netizen Choice Award and Mobile Popularity, being the biggest winner of the night. The group won Best Artist of the Year (Daesang), termed by many as the highest recognition of the night. Super Junior collected two more awards on December 14, 2007 at the 2007 Golden Disk Awards, an awards ceremony based on record success. Although defeated by SG Wannabe in winning the Daesang, Super Junior won a Bonsang and the TPL Anycall Popularity Award, which were reported as expected wins for the group by the media after the success of Don't Don.

Super Junior
Super Junior (슈퍼주니어; often stylized SUPERJUNIOR), sometimes referred to as SJ or SuJu (슈주), is a thirteen-member boy band from Seoul, South Korea. They are managed by producer Lee Soo Man and is currently the largest group under SM Entertainment. The members are Leeteuk (the leader), Heechul, Han Geng, Yesung, Kang-in, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum, and Kyuhyun. The Chinese member, Han Geng, was chosen among the 3,000 applicants through auditions held in China by SM Entertainment in 2001.[1] The group initially debuted with twelve members on November 6, 2005, but since May 23, 2006, they have become a thirteen-member group.
Super Junior has released two studio albums and one CD single since 2005. Their most successful album, Don't Don, was the second best-selling album of 2007, according to the Music Industry Association of Korea.[3] In addition, the group has earned four music awards from the M.NET/KM Music Festival (Korean equivalent of the Grammy Awards) and is the second group to win Favorite Artist Korea at the MTV Asia Awards after JTL.
Pre-debut
Since 2000, Korean talent agency and record label SM Entertainment has been holding annual auditions to scout new talents that complemented the success of boy band H.O.T and girl group S.E.S, both of which were created by SM founder and producer Lee Soo Man in the late 1990s. In 2001, the company held their first oversea casting auditions in Beijing, where they discovered Han Geng, who was chosen among 3,000 applicants.[1] Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Eunhyuk, Siwon, and Kibum were discovered under the company's annual auditions that were held in Seoul while Kang-in, Shindong, Sungmin, Donghae, and Ryeowook were discovered through SM-sponsored contests and singing competitions.[5]
Not long after boy band TVXQ's successful debut in 2003, news about Lee's unprecedented plans of forming another boy band quickly spread over the Internet. In early 2005, SM Entertainment confirmed the news and announced that a twelve-member all-male singing group would debut near the end of the year, promoting the project group to be "The Gateway to Stardom of Asia."[6] For a while the group was known to be called O.V.E.R, the acronym for "Obey the Voice for Each Rhythm."[7][a] Before the group settled with their current name, the company labled them as simply Junior, a representation of the members' young ages when they first joined SM Entertainment.[7] However, after the members' showcased their different talents to the company during an SM-sponsored picnic, their company finalized their name to Super Junior. Soon the group became officially Super Junior 05, the first generation of Super Junior.[5] Super Junior had been known for their infamous line-up, a concept being very similar to Japan's girl group, Morning Musume. Intended to be a rotational group, there was to be new members replacing some of the old members each year, forming a new Super Junior generation every time. However, this concept was abandoned when a new member was added in May 2006.[2]
Most members of Super Junior 05 have been actors, MCs, models, or DJs prior debut. Heechul and Kibum made their debuts in dramas and films;[8][9] Leeteuk, Yesung, Kang-in, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, and Siwon made cameo television appearances; Han Geng made his first media appearance as a model, and Heechul was also already an established DJ before debut.[10]
They made their pre-debut appearance on the Korean channel, M.NET on September 11, 2005.[b] At the showcase, Super Junior 05 performed various styles of hip hop dancing. The group danced to B2K's "Take It To The Floor." Han Geng, Eunhyuk, and Donghae also performed a separate dance away from the group, dancing to Usher's "Caught Up." However, the performance did not air on television until May 16, 2006 as a segment in the Super Junior Show, the group's first television documentary.
2005–2006: The Super Junior project
Super Junior 05 made their debut television appearance on SBS's Popular Songs on November 6, 2005, performing their first single, "TWINS (Knock Out)." A digital single with "TWINS (Knock Out)", "You are the one", and three additional tracks were released online on November 8, 2005. A CD single was scheduled to be released in November but a more complete album, SuperJunior05 (TWINS), was released on December 5, 2005 instead. Their debut album sold 28,536 copies in the first month of release and debuted at #3 in the monthly chart of December 2005.[11][c] In that same month, their collaborated single with TVXQ, "Show Me Your Love," was released. "Show Me Your Love" became the best-selling record of December 2005, selling almost 50,000 copies.[11]
After "Show Me Your Love" promotions were completed, Super Junior 05 promoted their second single from their debut album, "Miracle," in February 2006. "Miracle" was the group's first single to peak at #1 on different music charts of South Korea as well as international charts from overseas countries, such as Thailand.[12] It was their last single to be promoted from SuperJunior05 (TWINS).
As promotions for "Miracle" slowly came to an end, SM Entertainment decided to begin Super Junior's line-up project by replacing some of the original members with new ones. After Super Junior 05, Super Junior 06, the second generation, would debut, and the label had begun to take actions to announce the new members. However, after the addition of a thirteenth member, the company abandoned the line-up project and the group became known as just Super Junior, without the suffix "05".
Super Junior has released two studio albums and one CD single since 2005. Their most successful album, Don't Don, was the second best-selling album of 2007, according to the Music Industry Association of Korea.[3] In addition, the group has earned four music awards from the M.NET/KM Music Festival (Korean equivalent of the Grammy Awards) and is the second group to win Favorite Artist Korea at the MTV Asia Awards after JTL.
