This work studies the Generalized Singular Value Thresholding (GSVT) operator ${\text{Prox}}_{g}^{{\sigma}}(\cdot)$, \begin{equation*} {\text{Prox}}_{g}^{{\sigma}}(B)=\arg\min\limits_{X}\sum_{i=1}^{m}g(\sigma_{i}(X)) + \frac{1}{2}||X-B||_{F}^{2}, \end{equation*} associated with a nonconvex function $g$ defined on the singular values of $X$. We prove that GSVT can be obtained by performing the proximal operator of $g$ (denoted as $\text{Prox}_g(\cdot)$) on the singular values since $\text{Prox}_g(\cdot)$ is monotone when $g$ is lower bounded. If the nonconvex $g$ satisfies some conditions (many popular nonconvex surrogate functions, e.g., $\ell_p$-norm, $0
