I've been trying to find them and it's pretty hard! Artists don't openly go "oh we copied that song and changed the lyrics." Granted, it's not a BAD thing because it might be a remake of one of your favs! Or they made the original song better!

Here's a list of the ones I have and the ones I know. To listen to them, you can find the songs on youtube ^^

TVXQ

HiYaYa Summer Days is a remake of Perfect Tragedy by Don Kenneth Ramage. I prefer TVXQ's version cuz I've used to it, but Perfect Tragedy is REALLY good!
Get Me Some is a remake of Get Me Some by Mercury4. I think I like TVXQ's version better...but again I'm used to it ^^
Magic Castle is a well known cover of an old korean song. There is also a Cantonese version and Zhang Li Yin sang it in Mandarin
Balloons is a cover of a really old Korean song
Hug has an English version for TVXQ's international single
On and On, Dead End and Hey Kid are remakes I heard, but I haven't found the original yet so I'm not sure.
Ride On is a remake of an English song called Is It Alright? I still can't find the artist...
One was remade in Mandarin by the Tawainese group Energy

Super Junior
Twins is a remake of an English song by the UK boyband Triple 8. Energy also remade this song into Mandarin.
Tic! Toc! from the SMTOWN summer album is a remake of the English song Tic Tac by Cape
Believe and Keep In Touch are remakes of Japanese songs by EXILE
Happiness is a remake of HOT's Happiness (it's well known since SMTOWN Summer 2007 IS a remake album)
U has a mandarin version in the Chinese release of the U Single

Fly To The Sky
Eternity is the English version of Like Shining Stars also by FTTS ^^ Their English is good
There are also English versions of Condition of my Heart and Missing You
Missing You is also remade into Mandarin by Energy...

Shinhwa
Once In A Lifetime has an English version in their Japanese album

Zhang Li Yin and Junsu

Everyone knows Timeless has a Chinese version sang by Zhang Li Yin and Junsu too right? Timeless was also a remake of an English song by Kelly Clarkson & Justin Guarini


Those are the ones I know. Do you know any? Please share! Listening to the original is really cool ^^ Cuz you can see how it was remade. Listening to another version of the song you like is also refreshing in a way.
