Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Kuke Music Holding Limited (the “Company”)
We have acted as special Cayman
Islands legal counsel to the Company in connection with a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-267655), including all amendments
or supplements thereto (the “Registration Statement”), filed with and declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”)
and the prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement dated 29 October 2024 (the “Prospectus Supplement”, together
with the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, the “Prospectus”) through which the Company may offer up
to (i) a total aggregate amount of US$2,160,000 convertible note due 29 October 2025 (the “Convertible Note”) and class
A ordinary shares of a par value US$0.001 each in the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) issuable upon conversion
of the Convertible Note to be represented by American depositary shares, and (ii) 5,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Sale
Shares”) to be represented by American depositary shares (the “Sale ADSs”).
For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have
examined the following document(s):
| 1.1. | the Registration Statement; |
| 1.3. | a securities purchase agreement made between (1) the Company, and (2) Shelf Advisor Limited, Short Selling
Capital Group Limited and Bera Family Limited (the “Investors”) relating to the issue and subscription of the Convertible
Note and the Sale ADSs dated 18 October 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”); |
| 1.4. | the Convertible Note issued by the Company to each of the Investors dated 18 October 2024. |
The documents listed in items 1.1 through 1.4
above are herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Documents” (which term does not include any other instrument
or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto).
The Class A Ordinary Shares to be represented
by American depositary shares to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note are referred to herein as the “Conversion
Shares”.
We have also reviewed:
| 1.5. | a copy of the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company adopted
by a special resolutions passed by the Company on 20 September 2024, each certified by a director of the Company on 29 October 2024 (the

unanimous written resolutions, remain in full force and effect and have not been rescinded or amended; |
| 2.6. | that the Company will issue, the Convertible Note, the Conversion Shares, the Sale ADSs and the Sale Shares

and allotment of the Class A Ordinary Shares, whether as a principal issue or on the conversion, exchange, or exercise of the Convertible
Note; |
| 2.10. | that the issuance and sale of and payment for the Securities will be in accordance with the Purchase Agreement,
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; |
| 2.11. | that, upon the issue of any of the Conversion Shares and the Sale Shares, the Company will receive consideration
for the final issue price thereof which shall be equal to at least the par value thereof; |
| 2.12. | that the form and terms of any and all Securities, the issuance and sale of any Securities by the Company,
and the Company’s incurrence and performance of its obligations thereunder or in respect thereof (including, without limitation,
its obligations under any related agreement, indenture or supplement thereto) in accordance with the terms thereof will not violate the
Constitutional Documents nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in the Cayman Islands; |
| 2.13. | that no invitation has been or will be made by or on behalf of the Company to the public in the Cayman
Islands to subscribe for any Securities, and that no Securities will be issued to residents of the Cayman Islands; |
| 2.14. | that all necessary corporate action will be taken to authorise and approve any issuance of the Securities,

or on behalf of the Company and all other parties thereto; |
| 2.15. | that the Securities to be offered and sold, will be, legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all

| 2.16. | that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than the Cayman Islands, which would
have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein; |
| 2.17. | the Company has not taken any action to appoint a restructuring officer; |

terms, and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will be duly filed with the Commission; and |
| 2.19. | that on the date of entering into the Document(s) and issuance of the Securities, the Company is and after
entering into the Documents and any such issuance by the Company, is and will be able to pay its liabilities as they become due. |
| 3.1. | The obligations of the Company under the Documents and any Securities: |
| (a) | will be subject to the laws from time to time in effect relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
possessory liens, rights of set off, reorganisation, amalgamation, merger, consolidation, moratorium, bribery, corruption, money laundering,
terrorist financing, proliferation financing or any other laws or legal procedures, whether of a similar nature or otherwise, generally
affecting the rights of creditors as well as applicable international sanctions; |
| (b) | will be subject to statutory limitation of the time within which proceedings may be brought; |
| (c) | will be subject to general principles of equity and, as such, specific performance and injunctive relief,
being equitable remedies, may not be available; |
| (d) | may not be given effect to by a Cayman Islands court, whether or not it was applying the Foreign Laws,
if and to the extent they constitute the payment of an amount which is in the nature of a penalty; and |
| (e) | may not be given effect by a Cayman Islands court to the extent that they are to be performed in a jurisdiction
outside the Cayman Islands and such performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any contractual
submission to the exclusive or non-exclusive jurisdiction of specific courts, a Cayman Islands court has inherent discretion to stay or
allow proceedings in the Cayman Islands against the Company under the Documents and any Securities if there are other proceedings in respect
of the Documents and any Securities simultaneously underway against the Company in another jurisdiction. |
| 3.2. | We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Documents which provides for the
payment of a specified rate of interest on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment or which purports to fetter the statutory
powers of the Company. |
| 3.3. | We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited
to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands. This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and
use in connection with the matter described herein and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any
other matter. |
On the basis of and subject to the foregoing,
we are of the opinion that:
| 4.1. | The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate
of Good Standing, is in good standing as at the Certificate Date. Pursuant to the Companies Act (“Act”), a company
is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties under the Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge
that the company is in default under the Act. |
| 4.2. | Based solely on our review of the memorandum of association of the Company, the Company has an authorised
share capital of US$5,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 shares of a nominal or par value of US$0.001 each, comprising of (i) 4,961,500,000
class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$ 0.001 each, and (ii) 38,500,000 class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.001 each. |
| 4.3. | When allotted, issued and paid for in accordance with the Documents, the Conversion Shares and the Sale
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be
paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares). |
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus
forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of
Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities
Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
Yours faithfully,
