1. [+773, -22] They win through good music. There's no question of asking how. You can't compare them to other groups who rely on showing skin to win. The comparison is laughable.

2. [+366, -14] Yeah, I was confused seeing a pop song at the top of the real time charts.

3. [+585, -16] Leave out the part about Psy, Maroon 5 has always been famous in Korea;; (The article has a paragraph talking about how Psy helped Maroon 5 be more popular in Korea because his 'Gangnam Style' chart performance rivaled with Maroon 5's 'One More Night', causing it to be mentioned in all of Psy's Korean articles)

4. [+51, -1] Did the article really say that Psy made them more popular in Korea ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm too embarrassed to live.

5. [+50, -1] With other bands, people will listen to them only if they're interested in that type of music but Maroon 5 is the type of public friendly group that even I, who has no interest in foreign band music, know a few songs from.

6. [+46, -3] Why can't Koreans make music like Maroon 5. Or do we not have the talent... All Korea knows how to do is manipulate the digital charts and the public into thinking idols who are not singers but fashion stars are creating hit tracks off of plagiarized autotune. Let's reflect because it's the only way we'll even catch up to the tail end of Maroon 5's music.

7. [+36, -0] Maroon 5's music style fits well with Korea so they've always done well. Coldplay, Oasis, etc.

8. [+36, -3] Proves that good music doesn't know boundaries
