Controversies

edit

The nature of this girl group, as well as what its members would mainly do, has raised up large controversies by Chinese netizens. Some hold the opinion that Star48, the operator of this girl group, "transformed the idols into online streamers,"[3] and some other netizens rebuked the operator, saying that "the fans who spent their money for supporting their idols, and then received the bad news that the idols who they support should start their new career as streamers for the reason that the teams they once belonged to were dismissed, would never feel happy no matter who he/she is."[4]

When responding to the inquiries of the mass media, Star48 said the group is aimed at "facilitating the interactions between members and fans, as well as allowing the latter to participate in the process of bringing up the former," and pointed out that how the group runs is constitutionally the same as reality competitions.[5] Plus, it stated that the members would have possibilities to transfer to SNH48, BEJ48, or GNZ48 according to their performances and popularity.[1]
