HKT48 Members
Contents
Introduction
HKT48 has had a total of 103 original members over 6 generations and 3 draft generations (plus 2 transferred members and 1 Kennin). As of October 2023, HKT48 has 25 members and 13 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). Trainees eventually get promoted to one of the group's teams and the group holds regular auditions to backfill graduations.
Besides the regular auditions, HKT48 also participates in the AKB48 Group Draft Kaigi to recruit new members.
Currently two generations (1st, Draft 1st) do not have any remaining active members.
