BEJ48 (pronounced B.E.J. Sìshíbā) is a Chinese idol girl group based in Beijing, China. It is one of SNH48's sister groups formed in 2016, together with GNZ48.

Overview

BEJ48 is one of the first two sister groups of SNH48 formed. It has its theatre at the Youtang Life Square at the Chaoyang District in Beijing.
