Super Junior made their first visit to Taiwan on June 16, 2007 as guest performers and presenters at the Golden Melody Awards. Super Junior presented the Best Vocal Group and Best Performance Album awards.[40]. They also performed the songs "U" and "Miracle" at the awards ceremony. Only eleven of the thirteen members attended the event due to Heechul's schedule conflicts and Kyuhyun's injuries.
Super Junior's visit to Taiwan helped increase the sales figures of Don't Don which was released in Taiwan on October 19, 2007. It is the highest ranked Korean album on the G-music Combo Billboard Chart, surpassing the albums of TVXQ and Shinhwa. Super Junior's album also ranked above Taiwanese boy band K One, whose album debuted at #6.[41][42] The album peaked at #1 in Taiwan's Five Music J-pop/K-pop Chart and the G-music J-pop Chart in Taiwan within the first week of release.[43][44]
Super Junior visited Taiwan a second time on January 5, 2008 for Taiwan's "Music in Harmony" concert as a beginning step to have a closer approach to the Chinese market. Eleven members of Super Junior, excluding Heechul and Han Geng, performed in the concert along with Taiwan's Show Luo and Energy. Korea's Baby Vox Re.V and PARAN were also invited to perform. Popularity won Super Junior to have over 500 fans welcoming them at Taiwan's airport.[45] Super Junior's subgroup, Super Junior-M's first Chinese-language album, Me, was released on May 2, 2008 in Taiwan, and it debuted on the charts as #2, with only Sodagreen's new release above theirs.
