    In South Korea most fans have timers so they’re not left on overnight, because people think it’ll kill you if you do leave it on.
    This belief wasn’t helped by medical examiners putting “death by fan” on the death certificates of suicide victims to help the dead save face and spare the families the embarrassment of a “cowardly death” for a few decades.
