Morphology
The meaning 'a group of musicians who perform popular music' is directly and compositionally derived from 'pop' (popular music) + 'group' (several people seen as one unit); a B1 learner who knows both constituents will infer the MWE meaning. This noun–noun compounding pattern is common in English and across other languages, making the expression readily transparent rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
Pop group comes from the word pop, short for 'popular', and group meaning a band of musicians. Imagine a band playing catchy songs that many people like — that's why pop group means a band that performs popular music.
