Super Junior-M, often referred to as SJ-M, is a Chinese-South Korean boy band formed in 2008 by South Korea's S.M. Entertainment. The band is the first international music group in the Chinese music industry to have members of both Chinese and Korean descent.
Super Junior-M is the third and most successful subgroup branched off from the Korean band Super Junior. The group originally consisted of leader Han Geng, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, and two additional members appearing exclusively to the subgroup, Zhou Mi and Henry. In December 2009, Han Geng filed a lawsuit against S.M. Entertainment and left the group, resulting in the group's temporary disbandment. Han Geng was later replaced by Super Junior members Eunhyuk and Sungmin, which coincided with the release of the group's second EP Perfection in February 2011. After Han Geng's leave, the group considers Sungmin as the new "leader", as he is the oldest member of the team. However, S.M. Entertainment has not released any statements about electing a new group leader.
Before the official name of the subgroup was released, they were known by "Super Junior China". On April 3, 2008, SM Entertainment announced their official name to be Super Junior-M, with "M" representing the word "Mandarin". The "M" can also represent a list of other aspects, such as the first letter of their debut album Me, and also "mi" (Chinese: ), the pinyin for "charismatic" and "fan", the latter meaning referring to their desire to connect closer with fans.
