1. [+2,287, -81] What a waste of money. They could be spending that 400 million won on improving the work environment of police and firemen and giving them bonuses instead ㅡㅡ

2. [+2,022, -65] Why are we so obsessed with a song that's been forgotten already... ㅜㅜ It's getting pitiful now

3. [+1,817, -57] Foreign critics have said time and time again that 'Gangnam Style' did not get popular for its song but because the music video had comical and bizarre elements to it. The song itself is your traditional hook song meant to hook you in. This song has long since been forgotten and is even B-status in terms of image so why would they create a statue for it, that's so foolish... I wonder who was the fool who came up with this idea.

4. [+64, -2] Looks more like the hands are wearing handcuffs

5. [+52, -6] I'd understand if Psy had more hits afterwards but why would they create a statue over something that was a momentary trend

6. [+42, -2] They're crazy... whose idea was this? This is embarrassing

7. [+34, -10] I get that they want to promote Gangnam with it but that's a lot of money to be spending on it... do they not have other people who need that money?

8. [+24, -2] It's so Gangnam of them to even come up with ideas like this

9. [+17, -6] Just saw an article about a sick grandpa caring for his grandson and needing help for it.. there are so many people living impoverished lives and Gangnam is spending 400 million won on a statue.. idiots

10. [+14, -2] It's going to be a landmark of a waste of taxpayer money
