MNL48 Concept:
“Idols you can meet”
they are manufactured to become role models for young people. Fans can vote for their favorite MNL48 member, analogous to a popularity contest through an annual event called General Election. The members who receive the most votes are announced on the day of the election, but votes are submitted beforehand. Unlike the elections of the other groups, MNL48’s election will determine who will be the official members of the whole year until the next election. If a member didn’t rank, they will forcibly be graduating from the group.
Currently, the members who have the most votes are then grouped into: Senbatsu (#1~#16), Undergirls (#17~#32), and Next Girls (#33~#48). Only the Senbatsu and Undergirls will release their own song and music video for the following single. They also have Teams to categorize the members more easily. Also, instead of the entire group performing a theater show, only one team is assigned to perform. This allows fans to focus on a certain group of members and allow the other members to have days off.
MNL48 TEAMS:
MNL48 Pre-Debut:
On March 2016 AKB48 announced a new formation of overseas sister groups, BNK48 from Bangkok, MNL48 from Manila, and TPE48 from Taipei. On December 2016 MNL48 was introduced to the public and launched the MNL48 app, serving as a gateway for aspiring applicants. On September 17, Hallo Hallo Entertainment, the agency behind MNL48, officially signed a partnership agreement with ABS-CBN Corporation, one of the major companies in the Philippines. On October 13, Hallo Hallo Entertainment announced the registration and audition tour dates for MNL48’s 1st Generation members. On November 10, Hallo Hallo Entertainment holds 1st audition for MNL48’s 1st Generation. On January 2018 ABS-CBN’s “It’s Showtime” announced the top 200 members for the next round of competition, with the top 48 securing spots through panel judges and online voting. A “Meet Your Oshimen” event was held in Quezon City. On April 2018 Shekinah Igarta Arzaga was named Center Girl after three months of competition. Alice Margarita De Leon was elected as team captain and leader, while Ericka Joyce Sibug and Kaede Ishiyama were elected as team leaders.
MNL48 Vocabulary:
Oshimen
The word Oshimen (推しメン) comes from “oshiteru member” (“The member you support”). It’s the term used to describe a fan’s favorite member. Even though oshimen generally refers to only one member, many fans have more than one oshimen per group (The favorite member among the oshimen is usually referred as Kami-oshi).
Oshi
The term Oshi (推し) applies to fans. For example, if a fan’s oshimen is Abby Trinidad, they are a Abby-oshi.
Hako-oshi
Hako-oshi (箱推し) refers to a fan who supports an entire group rather than a single oshimen from that group.
Captain or Leader describes a member that is the authority (and many times the representative) of a certain team and sometimes group.
Kenkyuusei it’s also known as Research Students (研究生) or Trainee or Academy. When girls enter the group, they work as a kenkyuusei until they are promoted to a team. Kenkyuusei receive many of the same perks as promoted members do, but their appearances are usually limited. They usually only perform during the kenkyuusei-only theater shows and as understudies for promoted members when need be.
Center – describes a member that is on the center position in the formation of the members.
Kami 7 (God 7) describes the 7 most popular members of MNL48.
Graduation (卒業, Sotsugyou) refers to when a member that leaves their group.
