Korean pop star Wheesung has gone and done a version of Craig David's "Insomnia", along with a video. It's not that good.
The video is a little better than Craig's, but the song isn't. Wheesung should've used the isntrumental from the original because it knocks better. He actually shouldn't have bothered covering the song at all. There's sections where he's trying to cram all of the Korean translations into parts of the song where they do not even fit. And his vocals were plain off at times.
It's a shame Craig David's version didn't blow up. It barely got played on radio and clubs didn't really warm to it, despite it being one of Craig's most radio and club friendly songs.

The dancing bit at the end was quiet good though.
