Apparently it gets so hot snd humid in Korea that if you sleep with a fan on you you will die. I don't understand why but I've read a few research reports showing that it is true. In extreme circumstances fans can cause you to overheat.
If the air temperature is above body temp and the humidity is high enough that evaporative cooling from your sweat is ineffective... then you would be gaining heat from the air movement.
That said, I'm not sure how often the temp is 100°+ and the humidity is 95%+...
In Korea? You get about a week of that each year. It gets so hot and humid you just let the sweat wick in your clothes and get usedto being wet all the time. If you get in an AC room you can get headaches and such from the sudden temp drop.
Korea: fans used to circulate air chop atoms apart and can lead to asphyxiation and cannot be used for more than a few hours without causing death.
Japan: I went outside in the rain for 30 minutes and now I have a deathly fever that requires a suppository
The Korea one is so stupid, just open a window and you can run the fan all day because you have a fresh supply of non chopped up air atoms.
I mean, if fans were actually splitting atoms, I think people would know it.

I married a Korean so I heard that one a lot.

Perhaps if you're dehydrated, . No sweat, no evap, fan can warm you.
