A press conference will be held in Ho Chi Minh City on the 17th to debut the 1st gen (fans can sign up via lottery), then the next day they will attend Kizuna Ekiden Event in Hanoi with Team 8’s members.
It seems some girls didn't sign the contract because of personal reasons. I guess 1st gen has approximately 30 girls.
It's pretty sad that they missed a visual like this with the full bright idol aura coming from her. 1041 said that she is not participating anymore in one of her livestream and the reasons are still to be unknown. I was going to stan SGO48 if this girl debuts and becomes the center but seems like she will be working as a freelance model from now on.
So you don't stan SGO48 anymore, do you? I'm quite sure they don't give her center position. They will give it for a girl who 13-16 years old. Btw maybe Đoan Thảo is SGO's captain.
question regarding the Vietnamese names for their future wiki pages... does Đoan Thảo can be typed as Doan Thao?
Just a tiny bit of language study here, those marks are called diacritic marks and change how a letter is pronounced just like the dot over an i (instead of an L), line through a t (also instead of an L or I) or the nyet/tilde over an ñ.
Interesting... Did you guys noticed that some regular candidates (from the Final round) on Facebook now have their profile hidden? That can only mean one thing...
What time is it going to be in vietnamese time zone? edit: where can we watch / get updates if we're international?
Press con will be at 1pm Vietnamese Time (3 pm for Japan). I assume they will post the lineup soon afterward on media but you can look at the FB fangroup or Vietnamese AKB fanpages/blogs for any fan reports.
They just announced a live stream of the conference on their official FB page. However, the post did not say what time the live stream gonna start though.
Okay I will update and edit this post about the name, age and place of living of 1st gen members. May miss someone or make mistakes tho.
