SNH48 (S.N.H. Forty-eight) is a Chinese idol girl group based in Shanghai, China. Following AKB48's creator Yasushi Akimoto's concept of "idols you can meet", the group features dozens of female members around the age of 20, who perform regularly in the group's own theater and interact with fans predominantly via handshake events. The group is owned by Chinese companies NineStyle and Star48.
