2025 END OF YEAR SOTY TOURNAMENT (3 Viewers)

[karenina]

Gabriela is a good song but both of the songs isn’t Kpop

The rules said:
K-pop adjacent acts ARE accepted, as long as they have promoted in Korea this year.

So K-pop demon hunters and Katseye are allowed :)

Glad you like Gabriela!

Okay then I know

I'm gonna do RE:WIND - RE:SET and GFRIEND - Season of Memories! RE:SET was my favourite song of the year, so far at least (Verivery's comeback will likely dethrone it, especially because AHHHH VERIVERY COMEBACK!!!!!!) and I loved seeing GFRIEND FINALLY get back together!! Also Season of Memories was being played EVERYWHERE in Korea even when I went in May so we know it had impact!

A few announcements:

1. Log is updated to include all brackets in Round 1 if you wanna go ahead and start listening/making choices. Round 2 will have 27 songs (3-song final bracket), Quarter finals will have 13 songs (3-song final bracket), Semi finals will have 6 songs, making the Final a good First, second, and third, place decider.
Edit: this doesn't mean you can add or change songs, if anyone wants to add, change, or remove songs lmk and I'll fit them in accordingly (except if it's adding then I'll redo the whole listing lmao I've got the time)

2. With the amount of songs we have this time I doubt we'll end this before new years, the only way to account for holiday time is extend time of voting for two days. Even with this I will not post brackets from the 24th-26th of December, and from the 31st of Decemeber-2nd of January (2nd included to account for new years day for timezones behind me).

This is looking like a good upcoming round and I'm excited to see where certain matchups go! As always happy voting, may the odds be ever in your favour!

p.s, let me know if you got tagged. I automatically copied and pasted and I don't know if it works.

Not sure how I missed that too.

Is this eligible or already submitted? if not I'm good.
