Season Of Memories

Season of Memories takes this one, I prefer this kind of sound + it’s nice to see all of Gfriend together (though I still believe they deserved a better song).

That said, Gabriela is nice, it’s the Mr. Mr. to Gnarly’s I Got A Boy, and I do like Mr. Mr. (Also, I firmly believe it’s “Hands off Gabriela”, not “Hands off, Gabriela”. The following line, “Back off of my fella” clearly indicates that Gabriela is a masc sapphic, who doesn’t mind being referred to with more masculine terms).

 

[pinkmelodies]

I feel more sentimental towards Seasons of Memories so that truly my pick

 

[Nina]

Does Katseye since theyre not kpop?

I'd still pick Gabriella honestly.

 

[Moguri]

not the biggest fan of both songs, but I go with Gfriend here!

 

[athenaaa]

Gabriela was on repeat for me a lot this year

 

[velvet]

Does Katseye since theyre not kpop?

K-pop adjacent acts are allowed if they've promoted in Korea throughout the year and Katseye have, it's why &team was also allowed since even if it was a different song they have promoted on music shows for every release this year

Gabriella is a nice Spanish sound first time i have heard it like many of these.

but is season of memories just for the memories.

 

[IGURO]

HANDS OFF GABRIELA

 

[M3GURIN8LUKA]

Season of Memories is a very cutesy and nice song but I’m gonna have to go with Gabriela

 

[Pirioca]

I voted for Season Of Memories. I don't like Gabriela.

 

[Selfmate]

not a fan of Gabriela so Season of Memories for me

 

[kimsguardian]

I'll pick whatever group that has eunha in it

 

[Harmony_Starz]

Katseye Gabriela

 

[centen]

I like Season of Memories just a bit more.

 

[fairyOfshampOO]

I'm choosing gabriela, cause I think it's a better song with great vocal performance/tone from the members while I think that season of memories sounds extremely boring in comparison, it sounds like a below-mid j-pop song and I don't like their vocal tone at all.
so gabriela.
