In summary, there is this belief in South Korea that if you leave an electric fan on in a closed room overnight, it can kill you, supposedly by asphyxiation or hypothermia. There is not really a basis for this theory in reality, and it seems that younger Koreans are less likely to believe this theory.
Now that I think about it more, perhaps my next Halloween costume should be a Grim Reaper costume with a fan on my face.

Same thing in Germany, literally “if only the Führer knew!”

Heck, the good king being kept in the dark by his evil underlings is a really old trope too.

Good point. I’ll have to look up “fan death” right now! You owe me a half hour, in which I am supposed to be cleaning the bathroom.

Wow. Thank you. The shitter did get scrubbed.
