On June 9, 2016, AKB48 cut ties partnership with SNH48, after the latter was violating a contract with creating Beijing's BEJ48 and Guangzhou's GNZ48. On June 10, 2016, SNH48 management side insisted that they were an independent unit from the start and were never a sub-unit of AKB48, and there was never a contract to begin with. On the same day, AKB48 removed Suzuki Mariya's concurrent position with SNH48, and SNH48-related materials were removed from JKT48's website. It was occured just before SNH48 3rd Senbatsu Election.
