In this case, his wife and kid meant more than his own life.
It shows bravery rather than cowardice.

What the source says: During the powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar, a man named Kwon Young-jun was exercising on the 52nd floor of a Bangkok high-rise when part of the building collapsed. The incident caused the skybridge connecting two condo towers at Park Origin Thonglor to snap. Kwon noticed his wife and one-year-old daughter were in the adjacent tower—cut off by the break.
In a moment of instinct and courage, Kwon leapt across the broken skybridge to reach them.
After ensuring they were safe, he helped them down over 40 flights of stairs and reunited outside. Structural checks later confirmed the building was safe, and most residents have returned.
What the wife said: Kwon's wife, Bowyuri—a Thai beauty influencer—posted the viral footage online. She praised her husband’s bravery and said:
"He didn’t hesitate. He just jumped. I was in shock, but also so grateful."
Her video captured both the leap and the emotional reunion, drawing praise from thousands of viewers.

When catastrophes occur, that's when we appreciate living in a 4-story building
