Just because they wanted to appeal to international audiences? Or other reasons?

The only German artists I know are Rammstein and Oomph

Wendy/Red Velvet - Last Love




Here's the original (Eco):

 

[Ahsoka]

Juliette-Shinee (ish?)
I also actually found out that the one I thought the original was actually a remake I think thats not well known, people usually only know Shinee and Corbin Bleus versions
Hyeya - Jonghyun (also ish?)
Daesung and Sueungyoon -Ugly

 

[Jimimis]
