On October 10, 2011, AKB48 announced the creation of TPE48, and will build the theater next year summer.[1] At that time, AKS cooperated with Yoshimoto Kogyo and expected to start audition work in 2012. However, the two sides failed to reach a consensus in the preparation work, and thus they were discontinued after the second half of 2012.
2014–2015: AKB48 Taiwan Audition Edit
On December 7, 2014, during HKT48's Taipei concert, AKB48 announced that they will hold an audition for members of the AKB48 in Taiwan someday, but it was unclear whether the audition is related to TPE48. Subsequently, AKB48 officially announced its will hold the "AKB48 Taiwan Audition" on April 1, 2015, which is the first AKB48 audition event held besides Japan. From 2,152 who auditioned, 17 were chosen as member of the "AKB48 Taiwan Kenkyusei" (AKB48台灣研究生) to have completed the audition on August 17, 2015.
Ma Chia-ling was passed the audition and debuted in December 2015 in AKB48 Kouhaku Utagassen (AKB48紅白対抗歌合戦). February 21, 2016, she promoted as the "Taiwan Ryugakusei" (台灣留學生) to AKB48 Team B, and becomes first foreign member of AKB48 and the fastest AKB48 member to be promoted.
