HKT48 Members
Contents
Introduction
HKT48 has had a total of 85 original members over 5 generations and 3 draft generations (plus 2 transferred members and 1 Kennin). As of August 2022, HKT48 has 38 members and 18 kenkyuusei.
Like in AKB48, regular auditions to recruit new members are held, and successful candidates become Kenkyuusei Members (Research Students). Kenkyuusei are trainees who work as substitutes and understudies for the official members in various activities (mostly Theater Performances). When an official member graduates, a kenkyuusei is promoted to fill her space.
Besides the regular auditions, HKT48 also participates in the AKB48 Group Draft Kaigi to recruit new members.
Currently one generation (Draft 1st) does not have any remaining active members.
