Nyororin, I have had lots of people in Japan tell me about the "fan death" thing- while the myth may have started in Korea, it is alive and well here as well. Japanese people are usually pretty surprised when you tell them that idea started in Korea!
Having said that, I agree that it is likely mostly a money thing, along with a belief the temperatures that cold are just not good for you.
