The 14-year career of SUPER JUNIOR was a witness to the creation of an outstanding and diverse discography, filled with timeless hits and award-winning albums that defined a generation of K-Pop fans.

Since debuting in 2005 with “Twins (Knock Out)”, the boy group has released nine studio albums, one extended play, and countless of singles in South Korea alone — not including the releases of its sub-units and members as solo artists — and has showcased immense growth in terms of music and performance.

Although Super Junior has not ceased to treat its Everlasting Friends with new music, with Time_Slip being the newest addition to the growing list of albums of the boy group, there remain to be Super Junior songs that, no matter how long it has been since we first got to hear them, will always have special places in our hearts and our playlists.

Let’s have a trip down memory lane in this list of eight Super Junior songs that will never get old.

#1 “U”

“U”, which was released in 2006 as the lead single of the single album of the same name, marked the official start of Super Junior as a permanent group as the boys promoted “Twins (Knock Out” as Super Junior 05, a group initially planned as a project group with rotational lineup changes.

The song, which gave the boy group its first music show win, was also the release that introduced Kyuhyun as a member of Super Junior.

#2 “Marry U”

While “Don’t Don” leaned on the rock, dance-pop genre, “Marry U” was softer with a mix of contemporary R&B, pop ballad, jazz, and rap, partnered with sweet lyrics of a confession and a proposal. The song was released as part of the tracks of the boy group’s second studio album Don’t Don.

A new version of the song, with Hangeng and Shindong earning solo parts, was released in the repackaged version of Don’t Don. Fans also used the song as part of a fan project during the first Super Show, touching the hearts of the members and making them emotional for the sweet effort of their ELFs.

#3 “Sorry, Sorry”

Admit or not, whether you are an ELF or not, “Sorry, Sorry” is an iconic song. This year, the song, which was the lead single of Super Junior’s third studio album of the same name, turned ten years old! It remains to be the boy group’s most successful single to date after it secured the top spots on music charts all over Asia and added ten music show wins, daesang, and bonsang to the list of achievements of Super Junior.

“Sorry, Sorry” is addictive, boasting funk and contemporary R&B sounds and eye-catching and easy-to-follow choreography.

In addition, more than the achievements it brought the group, “Sorry, Sorry” is also memorable for Super Junior and ELFs as the final release of the boy group with all its 13 members.

#4 “Bonamana”

Drawing influences from electronic, funk, and hip-hop, “Bonamana”, penned and produced by SM Entertainment’s resident producer Yoo Young Jin, infused African rhythms and club house beats with lyrics expressing a person’s sincerity in winning the other’s heart.

“Bonamana” served as the title track of Super Junior’s fourth studio album of the same name. It was the boy group’s fastest song to rise to the number one of charts after it came on top of Music Bank‘s chart after only a week.

Another fun fact about this song: It was during “Bonamana” promotion that the infamous “Incheon Battle” between Leeteuk and Heechul took place.

#5 “No Other”

“No Other” is a follow-up single included in the repackaged version of the Bonamana album. The preparation for the fourth studio album came immediately following the end of Super Show 2 which had the Philippines as its final stop.

“No Other” offered a different feel than “Bonamana”. While the latter boasted the charisma of the members and showcased their dancing skills through a dance break, the former was sweet and cute as evident in the music video that came along with the single.

#6 “Mr. Simple”

The title track of the award-winning album Mr. Simple, “Mr. Simple” was released in 20111 and went on to top Gaon’s Singles Chart, Mobile Ringtone Chart, and Karaoke Chart. The song also gave Super Junior the most number of music show wins — a total of 11 — earning triple crowns in Inkigayo and M! Countdown and securing first place on Music Bank for five weeks straight.

#7 “Superman”

Our scale is the best and our skills is the best
Everything has to be the best
Super Junior is only missing the ‘man’
From the name of ‘superman’

Our passion and concentration are the best
Who would be able to say we’ve finished
Super Junior is only missing the ‘man’
From the name of ‘superman’

We will always love how confident the lyrics of “Superman” are and how it resonates so much about Super Junior — the boy group’s success and the boys’ passion to work harder and try every day. “Even if the road we walk is barren
We are in the end, Super Junior, the last man standing.”

#8 “From U”

Super Junior loves ELFs and “From U” is a testament of that. A track from the boy group’s sixth studio album Sexy, Free, & Single, “From U” was performed by the boys during their official comeback performances on music shows, starting with M! Countdown, along with “Sexy, Free, & Single”, the album’s title track.

During the performances, Leeteuk delivered a touching opening line, relaying a special message to their fans. “This song is dedicated to the world’s biggest fan club, the ELF, my girls, my angels.”

Witness SUPER JUNIOR perform their greatest hits live at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on December 15 as the legendary and timeless boy group brings Super Show 8 in Manila!
