In General
- The Danza:
- Sungmin plays the character Sungmin in his drama "President".
- Additionally, in their mini-drama series, the members usually went by their names instead of creating names for the characters.
- Dye Hard: They've all done it at some point. Though most of them go for lighter shades of brown, several have been blond or red, and a few even multicoloured.
- Thought Yesung had it mostly black during the band's trajectory, he also had it red, brown, light brown, blonde and pink.
- About the pink hair, Yesung also said he better do this before turning 30 or he would be too old to pull it.
- Sungmin had it blonde, black, brown (in all the shades) and pink.
- Eunhyuk had it blonde twice, red, black, brown and with blue strikes.
- Thought Yesung had it mostly black during the band's trajectory, he also had it red, brown, light brown, blonde and pink.

- No Export for You: This is pretty much the condition of any place that is not East or Southeast Asia, Australia, or California.
- Promoted Fanboy: Kyuhyun was a big fan of the group - and was the last main member to join.
- Scully Box:
- Half of the group (more specifically the shorter ones under the 1.80 m. mark) are known for having Shoe Lifts, more evident with Ryeowook and Eunhyuk, having both of them take their shoes off in Explorers of the Human Body and Intimate Note.
Host: Why is your ankle up here?- This is also revealed by Kibum in an interview, where he said the official profiles in SM's website add 4-5 cms. to their real heights.
- What Could Have Been:
- Eunhyuk and Sungmin were supposed to be in an R&B trio with Xiah Junsu, but he debuted first. Heechul and Kangin were supposed to debut in a group called Four Seasons with U-Know Yunho and Hero Jaejoong.
- Probably for the best since a group would never have survived both Heechul and Jaejoong together.

From the movie "Attack on the Pin-Up Boys"
- The Danza: All the guys get their names to their characters, except for the Panda, of course.
- Dawson Casting: Their roles in their Affectionate Parody movie, although not by too much. The worst case was Heechul who was twenty-four at the time.
- What Could Have Been: Because of the accident, where Kyuhyun and Leeteuk were injured...
- Heechul's character was originally intended for Leeteuk, so he could play opposites to Kangin.
- There was going to be a character written for Kyuhyun.
