"I'd like to send a round of applause to Crayon Pop. I think their song has been one of the best and most interested in by the public. There was Psy's 'Gentleman' in the beginning of the year but its success was only possible because it was Psy. If Psy were to be excluded, I'd consider Crayon Pop's song to be the best hit song of the year. Even my kids know who Crayon Pop are.

Winning #1 on a digital music chart does not make it a good song. It all depends on whether the public knows the song and whether or not you have fans. Considering those two factors, Crayon Pop is certainly a hit."

1. [+1,037, -58] Crayon Pop is a clear success story. Coming out of a crap agency, they managed to win #1 in digital charts, music programs, and even get on international news ㅋㅋ Hit daebak with one good concept

2. [+859, -48] SM, YG, and JYP really have something to learn from Crayon Pop considering the success they managed to garner out of a nugu company ㅋㅋㅋ They created a new level in fandom culture with the Popjusshis

3. [+734, -137] I think it's only online netizens who hate Crayon Pop

4. [+596, -76] I think this year so far, Bounce and Bar Bar Bar had the biggest impact with the public

5. [+227, -33] That's right, unlike another group who makes animal growling noises to eat up #1 wins through the power of their stupid fangirls.. There's no point in winning of the public doesn't know what your song is ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+223, -48] Yang Hyun Suk is giving credit where it's due. SM is so stubborn with their persistence on convoluted songs and using artists purely made to bring money out of their stupid fangirls. Do you really believe that f(x) and EXO have songs worthy of winning? How is it possible that a song about an animal barking like EXO's is winning for weeks on end? Bar Bar Bar is on such a high trend, it'd be normal for them to win instead but they're not. If Crayon Pop was under SM, they would've won for 10 weeks in a row. Our TV programs are all manipulated, especially with the way they're calling some dog barking song the current trend.

7. [+180, -9] "Just because it wins #1 on a digital chart doesn't mean it's a good song" I completely agree...

8. [+198, -28] If I know the song, then I'd consider it a hit...

9. [+193, -40] Yang Hyun Suk knows what he's talking about... EXO's wins have no meaning when they're winning purely based on their name alone.

10. [+166, -27] Those other groups can growl and bark all they want till their throats go sore, the public does not know crap about their song. Bar Bar Bar is known from preschoolers to even the elderly right now.
