Kwon, who was exercising on the 52nd floor, described his immediate instinct to reach his family.
“All I could think about was getting back down to the room to save my wife and child,” he stated.
He recognized the imminent danger as the building began to break apart, and made the decision to leap across the widening gap.
His wife, Sukanya Yutuam, 35, a beauty influencer, recounted the rapid unfolding of events.
She explained that her husband had been in a separate section of the condominium complex when the earthquake struck.
“The events that day happened so fast. No one was at their most mindful. Instinct took over and he jumped across the buildings,” she said, expressing her shock at the footage.
Despite the perilous nature of his actions, Kwon sustained only minor scratches. He explained that the walkway had initially remained partially connected, and his immediate focus was on reaching his family.
After leaping across the gap, he discovered that his wife and daughter had already evacuated their 30th-floor apartment. He then proceeded to descend over 40 floors to reunite with them.
Yutuam praised her husband’s unwavering devotion to their family.
“He always thinks about his family first no matter what he does, to the point where he forgets that crossing over to another building is very dangerous,” she said.
The developer of the Park Origin condominium complex confirmed that the buildings remained structurally sound after safety inspections.
They clarified that the connecting walkways were designed to detach from buildings during earthquakes, allowing for independent movement of the structures.
The earthquake caused widespread damage in Bangkok, including the collapse of a high-rise construction site, resulting in numerous casualties.
The earthquake's epicenter was located in neighboring Myanmar, where the devastation was significantly more severe.
Reports indicate thousands of deaths and injuries, with concerns raised about the accuracy of official figures. International organizations have warned of a compounding humanitarian crisis in the region.
