What is an Honorary Doctorate Degree?

In the world of academics, a doctorate degree (PhD) is the utmost highest recognition you can achieve. However, it is incredibly challenging to reach such honor, and it usually takes years with many sacrifices for students to achieve the title.

On the other hand, an honorary doctorate degree is when someone receives the above PhD title without completing the standard requirements due to the person’s valuable achievements that have benefited the university and the nation.

The difference between these two in the title is while the usual doctorate degree title uses “Dr.” at the beginning of their name, an honorary doctorate degree recipient usually places a different title, “Honoris Causa” (H.C.) after their name.

Further in his speech, Bang Si Hyuk revealed that the reason and secret to the key to HYBE success is focusing on the core issue.

Most companies, institutions, and organizations usually choose to act fast once an issue occurs. That way, they can solve the immediate problem as soon as possible and continue progressing.

But that is not HYBE.

According to Bang Si Hyuk PD, if you want to follow the secret key to HYBE success, you should focus more on the primary foundation rather than the surface. That is why after a long and challenging process, HYBE can finally reap what they sowed today.

“The self-diagnosis and prescription we must understand is that we should focus on the essence rather than solving the immediate problem. It has become the conclusive reason for the company to survive so far.
I truly believe in the essence of this principle, and I have always tried my best to protect it. That is why today I think the time has come when we can expect the end of the long tunnel.
Hence, we will continue studying what the future music industry will look like and strive for survival in the long run.”
