After a remarkable ten-year journey, SNH48 member Duan Yixuan a.k.a DDD is officially graduating from the iconic girl group on August 18, ready to turn the page towards her solo career. 

The former Youth With You 2 trainee shared the news in a heartfelt post, recalling her humble beginnings and the determination that brought her this far.

Back in July 2015, Duan Yixuan made the bold choice to leave her hometown behind and head to Shanghai, buying a plane ticket for just 380 yuan—without anyone knowing. That spontaneous move marked the start of her decade-long adventure with SNH48. 

“It was all me deciding my own path, signing my own contract, and dreaming of a future I wanted,” she reflected. “SNH48 gave my dreams a stage where they actually felt real.”

Over the years, Duan Yixuan grew from a hopeful trainee into one of the group’s standout members, winning over fans with her dedication, charm, and passion for performance. Now, with her SNH48 contract nearing its end, she’s chosen to graduate, expressing deep gratitude to both fans and fellow members who have supported her throughout. 

“I wanted to be an idol who makes the people who like me proud,” she recalled, echoing her original dream.

Her graduation concert, titled “Xiao Ban Sheng”, is set for 23 August 2025 at 13:00 local time, promising a heartfelt farewell and celebration of her decade in the spotlight. 

But Duan Yixuan emphasises that this isn’t a goodbye—rather, it’s the beginning of a new chapter as a solo. She has already set up her own personal management team to steer her career independently, hinting at exciting projects ahead outside SNH48’s umbrella.

Fans are already buzzing with anticipation, ready to witness the next chapter of Duan Yixuan’s journey. If her ten years in SNH48 are anything to go by, her solo career is bound to make waves.
