In October 2005, Hankyung officially debuted as a member of Super Junior. As a foreigner in South Korea, he is only allowed to appear on 2 television stations (KBS and SBS), as stated by SM founder Lee Soo Man during a Harvard Korean Wave conference. He had originally signed with Mnet & KM. He is one of the few members of Super Junior who actively appears on variety shows despite problems with his Visa, which prevents him from appearing on certain programs.
