Hey there.. american.. or austrilian or newzeland , just forgeiner.. The second hand embarassment i got from reading this comment was more then the entire BL chapters..

The term "Fighting!" is mostly for in korean dramas its really '화이팅'  in hangul or 'Hwaiting' not Fighitng which means 'You can do it!' or 'You got this!' or "Go for it!' .. we do not  say fighting.. it is awkward and odd imagine if someone said to you "Fighting !!" randomly and said it was encouragement XD, it is simpler to say You can do it in english

@Nana Im not korean but I always get that alot since my classmates have been saying that, reasoning with "im a kpop lover" eugh it gives me chills

@cCreamin if you are saying the word correctly it shouldn't be bad it is just a cringy moment really when you see a forgeiner shouting "fighting!!" at you instead of the proper word most people might just think you mispronouced it XD

@Nana da** it's not that deep 😭 😭

@Nana I'm so confused what do they mean with fighting

@ItzMintyLeaf

because  화이팅, pronounced "Hwaiting" is an encouraging term in Korean it means "You can do it!!" or "You got this!" Or "Go for it!!!" 

but forgeiners usually hear it as "Fighting" because it sounds similar so this person said "Fighting" which kind of gave them away as a Koreaboo or someone who didn't understand the pronunciation, which is why I corrected the

@Nana ahh okay 🙂↕️ I didn't even know lmao

@Nana are you Korean? Or do you know Korean?? I really wanna learn Korean, but I don't know where to go
