Biography
2000-2005: Pre-debut
Eunhyuk was born Lee Hyuk-jae in Neunggok, Goyang, Gyeonggi. In elementary school he was a member of a dance group, 'SRD', which stood for song, rap and dance, with childhood friend Kim Junsu.[2] In 1999 when he turned thirteen, together with Junsu he auditioned for SM Entertainment through the company's Starlight Casting System. Under SM Entertainment, Eunhyuk was trained in singing, dancing, acting, and had brief Mandarin Chinese language courses. In 2002 Eunhyuk, Kim Junsu, and another trainee Sungmin were placed in a project R&B group. A year later, the group along with three future members from TRAX (Jay Kim, No Minwoo, Kang Jungwoo) made a brief appearance in a show called Heejun vs. Kangta, Battle of the Century: Pop vs. Rock, in which Moon Hee-joon and Kangta individually taught them techniques on different types of singing. In 2003 the trio disbanded when Junsu went on to debuted as a member of TVXQ.[3] Eunhyuk and Sungmin were then placed in another project group with ten other male trainees, Super Junior 05, the first generation of rotational boy band Super Junior.

In March 2006, SM Entertainment began to recruit new members for the next Super Junior generation. However, plans changed and the company declared a halt in forming future Super Junior generations. Following the addition of thirteenth member Kyuhyun, the group dropped the suffix "05" and became officially credited as Super Junior.[7] The re-polished group's first CD single "U" was released on 7 June 2006, which was their most successful single until the release of "Sorry, Sorry" in March 2009.[8]
