Super Junior K.R.Y- established in November 2006, is a trio formed by Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung. The company discovered that these three members developed a particular persona and subsequent fan-base that was separate from the rest of the group, and how they also had similar musical qualities. They therefore grouped these three members together to perform particular songs to target a more mature audience. Being amongst the most vocally powerful members of the group, Super Junior-K.R.Y are credited to singing mournful, R&B-style ballads, a style that has proven very popular in recent years although stagnation in the style's development is causing it to lose its once fresh evocative power.
Super Junior Trot- officially known as Super Junior-T is the second official sub-unit of the Korean Boy Band Super Junior. They are the first idol group known for capitalizing trot music, the oldest form of Korean Pop Music. Super Junior-T contains six Super Junior members, Leeteuk (the leader), Heechul, Kang-in, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk.

In November 2008, the subgroup returned with a debut in the Japanese music industry, releasing the Japanese version of "Rokuko"
Super Junior M- Responding to Super Junior's rising popularity in China, Super Junior's management, SM Entertainment, decided to compose a new Super Junior sub-unit that is to focus entirely on the Chinese market.
