The discovery of the Higgs boson tells us that it is ``light", which in turn suggests that the Higgs self-coupling is governed by gauge principle. As an attractive BSM scenario, having such feature, we focus on gauge-Higgs unification, where the origin of the Higgs is gauge boson. Reflecting the origin, Higgs interactions are argued to deviate from those in the SM. We also point out that H to Z gamma decay is forbidden or strongly suppressed in this scenario, invoking operator analysis. The prediction of the Higgs mass in this scenario is also briefly commented on, if the time allows.
