History

On 6 November 2015, Super Junior's 10th anniversary since their debut, SM Entertainment announced that Super Junior had their own exclusive label management, Label SJ. SM stated, "We established Label SJ to give Super Junior our wholehearted support and an ideal system for managing the group." Though the new label will be affiliated with SM, it will be independently and wholly responsible for Super Junior's management, producing their albums, and all group, unit, and individual activities. [1]

In March 2023, with the implementation of SM 3.0 restructuring of the company's business strategy, Label SJ was folded back into SM and absorbed into the label's production center 5 (Wizard Production), which also manages Exo and Riize. [2]
