I don't know if this is the correct section for this, but during my time here I have heard a few Western songs remade by Koreans in some way including:

This Love
Maria
Kiss


Well recently i am sure I have heard "Just like a pill" by Pink in Korean. Can anybody tell me what the name of the artist or song is?

Also are there any other famous English language songs that have been given the K Pop treatment? (I'm especially keen on ones sung by male singers which I could have a crack at in noraebang)


Thanks

현영 (Hyun-young) sang that K'd up version of Numa Numa. She's also responsible for the most poorly choreographed video of the year in "Love Revolution 21" that is plaguing the airwaves these days.

I mean, I'd hit it, but still...
