I find a lot of students singing randomly at my school. Why don't you say 'Hello' to a few and ask them what song they are singing. Follow up by asking what kind of music they listen to and if they know any English songs. This will give you some ideas as to what is popular in Korea.

My Co-teacha is doing 'Kung Fu Fighting" 
We dont teach together so I dont know how that's going exactly...
If i remember the song correctly, aside from the chorus, I thought it was a bit fast...but the students sounded like they were having a good time with it.

They all seem to know Jason Mraz and Maroon 5

I actually did Kung Fu Fighting too and had a good response. A bunch of them got very into it enough to sing along loudly (hard to get in my classes). I've heard that the Beatles work pretty well too if you want to get off modern stuff for a bit.  Are you giving them the lyrics?

I have done classes with Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy"  plus, it gives you a chance to explain the difference between was/were.
