His call for young people to accept practical work has reignited debate over career aspirations as concerns grow over future labor shortages.

  • He argued that many young adults struggle to form personal identities and instead mimic the lifestyles of prominent figures in music and social media.
  • Duki contrasted the perceived unhappiness of celebrities he knows with genuine contentment he sees in friends and family who live modestly.
