Forty-eight), formerly known as AKB48 Team SH is a Chinese idol group based in Shanghai, China and an official sister group of the Japanese idol girl group AKB48.[note 1] It was established in 2018 after the dissolution of AKB48's relationship with the girl group SNH48 back in 2016.[1] The group is short of Team Shanghai 48, the group former name.
On April 10, 2018, the application process was opened for the formation of Team SH, in which 38,066 girls registered by May. The applications were reviewed, and the second round consisted of interviews that were held in six cities.
