List of SNH48 members
Wikimedia list article

SNH48 is a Chinese idol girl group formed in 2012. As of July 2, 2022, the group consists of 71 regular members, divided into several teams: Team SII with 19 members, Team NII with 17 members, Team HII with 17 members and Team X with 18 members. 3 members are classified as understudies. In addition, 1 member is listed as an overseas trainee. 73 members are currently listed as on temporary hiatus, although most of them have unofficially resigned.
Members are recruited during auditions that are held roughly every half a year. Initially, they are announced as understudies before being promoted to their various teams, however, this practice was discontinued between 2016 and 2017 during the introduction of its sixth and seventh-generation members, and since 2019, after the second Team Shuffle. When they get older, they "graduate" from the group.
Following AKB48's format, SNH48 holds General Elections every year to determine the popularity of its members. To obtain a ballot, voters have to buy the group's latest "election single", or sign up on its official app.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of SNH48 members” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q31174168. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2022, 2016 and 2017.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
