Overseasidol.com — Chinese singer and actress Sun Zhenni has officially parted ways with Siba Media and embarked on a new chapter as an independent artist by establishing her own wholly owned studio.
The move marks a significant milestone in her professional transformation after years within the idol group management system.
In early February 2026, reports surfaced that Sun Zhenni had set up a personal studio operating under a sole proprietorship model.
The news was further supported by updates to her social media profile, where references to Siba Media were removed.
Fans and verified accounts quickly extended their congratulations, describing her departure as a successful exit from the “48 system” referring to the idol group structure she was previously part of.
Sun Zhenni rose to prominence under the SNH48 umbrella, managed by Siba Media.
In August 2023, signs of her career shift became apparent when she was transferred from SNH48 Team HII to the company’s film and television division.
Around the same time, several other members were also reported to have left or terminated their contracts, fueling speculation about internal restructuring within the agency.
By establishing her own studio, Sun Zhenni now gains greater autonomy over her career decisions, including selecting film and drama projects, commercial endorsements, and shaping her personal brand.
This independent model has become increasingly popular among Chinese entertainers seeking broader opportunities beyond the constraints of traditional idol group management.
Fans view this transition as a strategic step that will allow Sun Zhenni to further develop her versatility as an actress and performer.
As she steps into this new phase, anticipation is building for upcoming announcements regarding her future projects in film and television.
