A 17th-generation member in the 4th team of SNH48, who just left the group last year, has been convicted of operating a gambling ring & sentenced to 10 months of jail w/ a probation of one year in the same year, whereas a 1st-generation member in the 1st team of BEJ48 is now an official of a law court in the same city - the fan reporting about it in the clip below jokes that the latter, as an earlier-generation SNHG member, could've worked on the case of the former, as a later-generation SNHG member, if the case were trialled at the same law court:
