SNH48 Team SII member Sun Rui has successfully winning 2021 Elections campaign. SunRui got a total final votes at 3,123,409, beating Yuan YiQi at the runner-up with 2,603,049 votes.
Having won the SNH48 Group Elections means Sun Rui will graduate to the SNH48 Star Palace (Hall of Fame) before beginning her solo career as a STAR48 artist.
This will take place later this year. As FYI, elections rules state that if someone wins two years in a row, they get to move on to form their own solo studio.
And so far, two other members have entered the Hall of Fame: Ju JingYi and Li YiTong.
Congratulations to Sun Rui for winning the honor of TOP 1 in two consecutive SNH48 Group elections and becoming the third member to be promoted to the SNH48 Group Star Palace.
