“Fighting” has a specific meaning in Korea
What does Fighting mean? The exact origin of the expression is not known according to nextshark.com, but there is a story that relates to the war between North and South Korea.
South Korea was supported during the war (1950 – 1953) by the United States of America. In the camps of the USA, local residents were recruited for various jobs. Later, it became a habit for the Korean workers to undercut each other, as there was only limited work available.
The constant undercutting of services eventually led to some conflicts among the Korean workers. The American soldiers shouted “Fight! Fight! Fight!” to provoke a fight among the workers.
