This one is hilarious. There is some weird superstition here in Korea that if you leave the fan on (pointed towards your face or body) while you are sleeping at night, you will die. There are two reasons why they think this. First, they think that the blowing air on your face makes inhalation difficult while you are sleeping. They also believe in oxygen displacement because of the fan. The other reason is that it causes hypothermia. They’re both ridiculous, but people believe it. It doesn’t help that the Korean media makes up fake stories about people dying to fans because they want people to conserve electricity.
