Name origin
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: θΏ·), the pinyin for "charismatic" and "fan", the latter meaning referring to their desire to connect closer with fans.
