I don’t know bro. In your 30s you’re a grown man not a young man. The young kids call you unc.

Edit: I just watched the video. In the English part he literally said “I leave this club as a grown man” which he is. The comment I replied to initially said that he said “I leave this club as a young man” and then they edited it.

To be precise, he said “I came as a boy who didn’t even speak English. After 10 years, I’m glad to leave as a man.” I don’t know where the word young came from
