Maroon5 nabbed the International Pop award at the Gaon Chart Music Awards held Wednesday in Seoul.

The band‘s single “Don’t Wanna Know,” released in October, was the winning piece.

Adam Levine of Maroon5 thanked Korean fans via a prerecorded video, holding the trophy sent by Gaon. This is the fourth time the band has won the International Pop award from the Gaon Awards.

Maroon5 is one of the better known foreign bands in Korea and enjoys a great fandom here. Every time the band plans a tour passing through Korea, the seats seem to sell out nearly instantly.

The band on Feb. 15 released another single, “Cold,” for which it put up a promotional clip on official Facebook in Korean.
