XIAMEN, China, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pop Culture Group Co., Ltd ("CPOP" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CPOP) today announced that it has officially signed an exclusive collaboration with renowned trend comics artist Li Guo. With his avant-garde comic style, Li Guo will fuse the Company's classic aesthetics with contemporary youth culture to co-create a new IP series, further expanding the company's strategic layout in the field of trendy culture.

The Company's Street Dance Industry Layout

Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Xiamen, the Company is a pioneer and key integrator of China's hip-hop culture industry. The company went public on NASDAQ on June 30, 2021, becoming the first listed company in China focused on hip-hop culture.

The Company has established a hip-hop ecosystem centered around three core business segments: POPSPORTS, POPIDEA, and POPFUN.
