GNZ48 is a large-scale Chinese idol girl group established in Guangzhou, Guangdong in 2016, a sister group of SNH48, belonging to Guangzhou Star48 Culture Media Group Co., Ltd. GNZ48 currently has 61 members and is divided into Team G, Team NIII and Team Z.

Overview

GNZ48 is one of the first two sister groups of SNH48. On April 20, 2016, Star48 Media held a press conference in Beijing to announce the establishment of the SNH48 sister groups BEJ48 and GNZ48, and launched the first phase of the GNZ48 recruitment campaign. GNZ48 officially became a girl idol group. GNZ48 is a girl idol group that conducts performing arts activities in Guangzhou which built on the “idols you can meet” concept by regularly organizing “handshake” events where fans can meet group members. Its theater is located at Zhongtai International Plaza in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, and opened on April 29, 2016. Its name is the abbreviation of "Guangzhou" Pinyin name. Its first members included some fifth- and sixth-generation members transferred from SNH48.
When GNZ48 was established, there were two teams, the Team G and the Team NIII. Since GNZ48 is a sister group established by SNH48 brokerage company Star48, AKB48 operator AKS has not directly authorized SNH48, so GNZ48 is not included in the AKB48 Group (AKB48 issued a statement on June 9, 2016, that said that GNZ48 has nothing to do with AKB48, nor does it belong to AKB48 Group. The English name of the Team G and the Team N are not named in the order of the AKB48 group, but are directly named Team G and Team NIII. Team Z consists of 18 first-generation members of GNZ48, which was established on October 23, 2016.
