Billboard's 2023 Power 100 Party took place on February 1, and HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk was able to make history as he was presented with the Clive Davis Visionary Award.
On Wednesday night, Bang Si Hyuk was given the award by Clive Davis himself and HYBE America CEO, Scooter Braun.
In the acceptance speech, Bang Si Hyuk expressed his gratitude and the honor of receiving the award. He shared, "I thought about the reason why Billboard chose me for this year's Visionary award, and I think I'm here because I look beyond my life as a producer and started a record label which ultimately let me establish a company that challenges the traditional boundaries of music and entertainment."
Bang Si Hyuk added, “My long journey has always been to live with music. I’ve always put music as a No. 1 priority and offer diverse and immersive ways for fans to enjoy music. That has been my vision all along, and that’s my proudest achievement. With an undying passion for music, I hope to keep striving to push the limits of our business in a way that truly honors the name of Clive Davis.”
Congrats to Chairman Bang Si Hyuk on receiving this award!
Congrats to a legend in K-pop!
