Fan death is a widely believed superstition in Korea. The idea is that"an electric fan, if left running overnight in a closed room, can cause the death of those inside (by suffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death

Something like this could be very successful there, even if there are actually fans in it. Superstition is about appearance and intuition, not reality.

It is not the fans that cause such a supperstition it is suffocation/hypothermia caused by continuous air flow that the superstitious think is the problem.

Funnily, people in Austria seem to also believe that fans on at night make people sick. Not dangerously sick. They think it will give them colds.

I believe it about closed air conditioning systems, but not fans.
