Why South Koreans Say 'Hwighting!

For many of us who are fans of South Korean entertainment, we know that something is about to go down when we hear the term “hwaiting!” (화이팅) in films, Kdramas, or TV shows. While it is apparently a direct Konglish mispronunciation of the English word “fighting”, it doesn’t necessarily mean that someone is actually engaging in combat. Most of the time, it is used when a character is at a turning point in the story where he/she is encouraged to “fight” on.
