The SNH48 Dream Star Palace (明星殿堂) is a special group formed on March 4, 2018 that consists of members from SNH48 who graduate after winning the SNH48 General Election twice in a row and now work as solo artists under the group's management with their own studio.
It was announced in the SNH48 10th General Election that members who won the General Election twice in a row could choose whether to be promoted to the Dream Star Palace or become the captain of SNH48 Group. However, this rule changed again in SNH48 11th General Election, where members who win the General Election twice in a row can only be promoted to Dream Star Palace and graduate from the group.

- Li YiTong was originally a Team NII member, but was transferred to Team HII on February 3, 2018 and graduated as a member of that team.
