In 2001, Donghae successfully signed a contract with SM Entertainment soon after he jointly won the Best Outward Appearance award with future band mate Sungmin on the company’s third annual SM Youth Best Contest. Under SM Entertainment, Donghae was put in singing, dancing, and acting lessons that same year.

Lee DongHae in Super Junior:

Super Junior 05 officially debuted on November 6, 2005 on SBS’s music program Popular Songs, performing their first single, “TWINS (Knock Out)”. Their debut performance attracted over 500 fans and also garnered oversea viewers from both China and Japan. A full studio album was released a month later, which debuted at #3 on the monthly MIAK K-pop album charts. In March 2006, SM Entertainment began to recruit new members for the next Super Junior generation. However, plans changed when the company added in a thirteenth member, Kyuhyun, and the company declared a halt in forming future Super Junior generations. The group dropped the suffix “05″ and became officially credited as Super Junior. The re-polished group hit big after they released their first CD single “U” the following summer, which became Super Junior’s most successful single in the music charts until the release of “Sorry, Sorry” in March 2009. In late 2007, Donghae was put into Super Junior-M, the Chinese subgroup version of Super Junior. Super Junior-M is the first international music group in the Chinese music industry to have members of both Chinese and Korean descent, and brought an influence in the mainland music industry to produce multi-national music groups. Super Junior-M debuted in China on April 8, 2008 at the 8th Annual Music Chart Awards with the release of their first single music video, “U”. The subgroup released their first Chinese-language studio album, Me on May 2, 2008 to critical success.

Lee DongHae Pre-debut:

Donghae’s choice to pursue a career as a singer was motivated by his father’s lifelong dream. His father had wanted to pursue a singing career but was unable to, and so Donghae lived out his father’s dream. Originally, he wanted to become a professional athlete (soccer) but he had also always loved dancing for his father. In 7th grade, Donghae asked his father if he could audition and his father replied “yes” while slipping some money into his hand. Donghae fortunately passed but was forced to move to Seoul and leave behind his family in Mokpo.

In 2001, Donghae won first place along with Lee Sungmin (Super Junior) in SM’s Youth Best Contest for Best Outward Appearance. He was then accepted into SM Entertainment and began training in dancing, singing, and acting. He was soon thereafter placed in a five member group along with future Super Junior member Park Jungsu (LeeTeuk) that fell through. Names of the group included “Smile”, “OK”, and “Pricor”. In 2004, Donghae was placed into the project group Super Junior and went on to debut in Super Junior ’05. Several days before his official debut, Donghae made an appearance on Shin Dong Yup’s “There Is, There Isn’t” panel.
