OG K-pop idol group Super Junior has been a consistent music chart-topper in the last 15 years. They’ve also changed the K-pop scene in many other ways: they’re the first group to have more than 5 or 6 members—they had 13 (15 including Super Junior-M members Henry and Zhou Mi) members at their peak—and they introduced the concept of sub-units.
Their talents are not limited to music, however. The men of Super Junior have since branched out to star in variety shows, musicals, movies, and K-dramas. Check out these K-dramas (and a movie!) that feature Super Junior members in main or supporting roles.
