MNL48 Members(Former/First Generation/kyenkyunnsei)
MNL48 has had a total of 73 original members over their first generation. As of December 2018, MNL48 has 48 members and 9 Trainee members.
Like in AKB48, regular auditions to recruit new members are held, and the future successful candidates, the Traineemembers, take part of a in-training team of members that work as sub and under for the official members in various activities (mostly the theater performances). And then, when any of the official members graduate, a girl is promoted to fill the space.
