Watch KATSEYE & Bowen Yang Spoof Group’s Viral Mariah Carey VMAs Red Carpet Moment in ‘Gabriela’ Video

KATSEYE Puts Mariah Carey's VMAs Moment Under the Microscope in New 'Gabriela' Video

The K-pop group has crafted a Halloween-themed music video that lovingly parodies an infamous moment from last September's MTV Video Music Awards. The clip, which debuted on October 28, stars Bowen Yang, who questions his fellow "Billboard" contributor Kyle Denis about their favorite Mariah Carey music videos.

In the real-life event, the KATSEYE members were stumped by Denis' inquiry and offered a series of half-hearted responses before coalescing to name Lara Raj as their shared favorite song – either 'Obsessed' or 'My All'. The fictional video replicates this scenario with Yang posing the question on screen.

In an amusing twist, the "Gabriela" music video features the group members modeling Mariah Carey's most iconic music video looks. Daniela rocks a roller rink-ready 'Fantasy', Lara Raj bares it all in her 'Obsessed' costume, Sophia nails a sailor-themed take on 'Honey', Manon pulls off a stunning wedding dress for 'We Belong Together', Yoonchae dons a picture-perfect Mrs Claus bodysuit for 'All I Want for Christmas Is You', and Megan brings home the heat with her 'Heartbreaker' costume that introduced Bianca, Mariah Carey's beloved music video alter ego.

The "Gabriela" music video also features a dance performance of the same name, where each member flaunts their very own Rainbow tank top paired with white booty shorts and black knee-high boots. Yang concludes by saying he just asked a simple question but got an impressive response from KATSEYE – one that perfectly encapsulates their devotion to Mariah Carey's music.

In another nod to the group's VMAs debut, where they won Push Performance of the Year for medleying hits "Gnarly" and "Gabriela," this new 'Gabriela' video brings a full-circle moment for KATSEYE.
 
I'm loving the creativity behind KATSEYE's Halloween-themed music video parodying Mariah Carey's VMA moment 🎃👻! The way they pay homage to her iconic looks is everything and more - I mean, who wouldn't want to rock a roller rink-ready 'Fantasy' costume? 😂 But what really got me is how they poke fun at the group members' initial awkward responses when asked about Mariah Carey's music videos. It's relatable on so many levels 🤣.

However, I do think it's a bit too meta - using their own VMAs debut as inspiration for this parody... maybe add some more originality to the video? Still, KATSEYE absolutely slayed with this concept and execution 💖
 
I'm loving how KATSEYE is giving Mariah Carey's VMA moment a playful spin 🤣 their new music video, "Gabriela", is like a fun loving tribute to that infamous VMAs moment when they were all stumped by Kyle Denis' question 🤔. I mean, who doesn't love a good parody? 💁‍♀️ The fact that they're rocking iconic Mariah Carey looks in the vid is just too cool - from Fantasy to Obsessed, they're serving up some serious diva realness 👑. And can we talk about how adorable their dance performance is? 💃 those Rainbow tank tops are everything 😂. It's like KATSEYE is saying, "Hey, we may not know all the Mariah Carey songs, but we know how to have fun with them" 🎉.
 
🤣 OMG, KATSEYE is literally just roasting Mariah Carey at her own music video, but I'm here for it? 🎃️ They're so extra with the costumes, I need a Mariah Carey fashion marathon in my life ASAP! 😂 And can we talk about Bowen Yang's deadpan face when he asks Kyle Denis his favorite Mariah song? 🤣 It's like, lol, you guys just didn't have it together that day 🎉. But honestly, who wouldn't want to be part of a group that loves Mariah Carey that much? 💖 The more I see of KATSEYE, the more I'm convinced they're the ultimate #MariahCarey fan club 🤣
 
I'm totally loving how KATSEYE is giving Mariah Carey's iconic VMAs moment a playful, spooky twist in their new music video "Gabriela" 🎃🔥 The way they parody that awkward moment where Kyle Denis questions them about their fave Mariah song and they give hilariously half-hearted responses is EVERYTHING 😂 And I'm here for the group's creative takes on her most iconic music videos, from roller skating Fantasy to sailor-inspired Honey 🤩 It's like they're totally channeling their inner divas and I am HERE.

I'm also feeling the Rainbow tank tops and booty shorts combo, who knew that was a thing? 🤣 It's so cool to see KATSEYE celebrating their love for Mariah Carey's music in such a fun and playful way 💖. The fact that they won Push Performance of the Year last year makes this new video even more special to me 🎉.
 
I gotta say, I'm loving how KATSEYE is giving Mariah Carey's VMAs moment some serious shade in their new music video... or should I say, lovingly roasting her? 😂 The way they're poking fun at themselves and their fellow Billboard contributor is super relatable. And can we talk about how iconic the costumes are?! 🤩 Daniela's Fantasy roller skates outfit alone is giving me major 90s nostalgia vibes 💥. What I love most about this video is that it's all in good fun and celebrates Mariah's legendary music. It's not trying to diss her, but rather have a playful conversation with themselves. KATSEYE might be the ones being roasted, but they're doing it with so much enthusiasm and humor that you can't help but laugh along 😂.
