| YOu know, when they are watching a baseball game or something then you see people make a fist with their hand and say "pieting"! How do you write it in Hangul? |

I'm pretty sure it's 화이팅 (hwaiting). I don't know why.
Edit: I did a google search and it seems 파이팅 is more common, but 화이팅 is also used. |

Cool. Now, if I can narrow it down to which one is correct (i.e. how Koreans spell it). Thanks! |

I hear f mispronounced as both p and h or it's equivalent. eg pamily, hamily for family....I hear both pighting and hwhiting too.
Normally ㅍ is used for "f", but at the start of a word lots of funny stuff seems to happen. Maybe that just stems from different regions' dialects? |

It's not really mispronounced, there is just no 'f' sound in Korean, so they use the closest thing they got. |

| There's a movie title on now written "화아어" for Fire (Down) making 'hw' for 'f'. They really mangle it. Yes, ㅍ is closest, but they go for something totally different. Interesting. |
