POP Culture and Ciwen Media partner to promote Chinese Wave artists

XIAMEN, China - POP Culture Group Co., Ltd (CPOP) and Ciwen Media have formed a strategic partnership to expand their presence in the Chinese Wave (Hualiú) entertainment market, according to a press release issued Thursday. The announcement comes as POP Culture Group demonstrates strong revenue growth of 108% in the last twelve months, though InvestingPro data shows the company faces profitability challenges with slim gross margins of 4.3%.

The collaboration will focus on providing support for singers and musicians in the domestic music and performance market by combining resources from both companies. With a current market capitalization of $82 million and a healthy current ratio of 1.83, POP Culture Group appears positioned to maintain its operational commitments despite recent challenges.

As part of the partnership, the companies plan to launch exclusive tour projects for multiple artists in the second half of 2025. The first event will be Su Xingjie’s "Do You Still Remember" concert at the ZhengHuo Art Center in Chengdu on August 30.

POP Culture specializes in Chinese Wave culture and trendy IP development, while Ciwen Media brings experience in film and television production, artist management, and large-scale entertainment projects.

"This cooperation represents not only a deep exploration of the commercial value of Chinese Wave music but also an active exploration into the industrialized operation of local cultural IPs," the companies stated in the release.

POP Culture Group, incorporated in the Cayman Islands with operations in China, has evolved from focusing primarily on hip-hop culture to becoming a diversified group specializing in Chinese Pop Culture. The company offers services including live performances, artist management, intellectual property rights, film and television production, and entertainment marketing. According to InvestingPro, the stock has shown strong momentum with a nearly 60% return over the past six months, though investors should note there are 10 additional key insights available to subscribers.

The partnership aims to implement more performance projects and expand innovation in the entertainment industry, according to the statement.
