Early life
Hong was born on 9 October 1986,[2] in Fangyuan, Changhua County, Taiwan.[3] He grew up in a financially struggling household, and at one point, his mother was abducted by debtors due to his parents' inability to repay their debts.[4] While attending a private junior high school, he was in an elite class but became less academically motivated, recalling that he "made friends with negative influences".[5][6] He decided against studying at a prestigious high school and instead attended a vocational school with his friends, where he spent eight years to complete his education.[7] He joined a gang in Taichung around the age of 16 to 17.[8][9] He originally worked at a gas station but eventually became involved in loan sharking due to his family's financial difficulties, becoming a debtor himself and primarily operating in Chiayi.[10] He was involved in an armed conflict resulting in two deaths,[11][12] and was implicated in another case that nearly led to his arrest.[13] However, Hong left gang life after his mother passed away from cancer, with her last words urging him to turn his life around.[14] He then met Chern Hawyeu and Liao Chien-chih, who were interested in forming a band, through a mutual friend and agreed to join them.[15][16]
Career
In 2009, Hong formed the band Nine One One alongside Chern Hawyeu and Liao Chien-chih in Taichung,[15] and served as the band's leader.[17] The band initially performed locally at nightclubs, temples, and schools.[18] They rose to prominence in 2012 with their original single "Men's Romance", which accumulated over 27 million views online as of 2016.[19] The band released their first album Phah Thih in 2014, which featured several songs that Chern and Liao composed before Hong joined the band.[19] Hong and his bandmates produced a short film titled Good Friends, which documented the past lives of the three members, with Hong sharing his experiences from his gangster days.[20] In 2016, the band was nominated for Best Group in the 27th Golden Melody Awards.[21] In 2023, they was once again nominated for Best Group in the 34th Golden Melody Awards.[22]
In 2010, Hong appeared as an extra in the gangster film Monga, portraying a thug under Ethan Juan's character.[23] In 2016, he made a cameo appearance alongside his bandmates as themselves in the comedy film The Big Power .[24] In 2022, Hong began transitioning to an acting career, a decision he described as "not part of his original plan", but he discovered a genuine interest in acting.[25][26] He made his acting debut in Kai Ko's drama film Bad Education as a gangster named Tai.[27]
Hong received his first leading role as Tai in Giddens Ko's 2023 romantic comedy film Miss Shampoo,[28] and also composed and performed the film's theme song with his Nine One One bandmates.[29][30] He was recommended to Ko by singer Jeffrey Huang, who had originally been cast as the lead but dropped out of the project.[31] Ko, who also produced Bad Education, recognized Hong's acting potential after observing his performance on set.[31] Alex Chung of HK01 praised Hong's debut performance as "precise", adequately capturing the essence of his character;[32] while Estella Huang of Mirror Media described his performance as "competent" and noted his chemistry with co-star Vivian Sung.[33] Hong was nominated for Best New Performer in the 60th Golden Horse Awards and Best New Talent in the 26th Taipei Film Awards.[34][35]
In 2024, he secured another leading role as Hsing, a gangster overseeing illegal migrant caregivers, in the Taiwan-Singaporean-French drama film Mongrel.[36] Director Chiang Wei-liang deemed him suitable for the role after watching a short film in which Hong starred,[37] and approached him at the premiere of Bad Education.[38] Hong received another nomination for Best Supporting Actor in the 61st Golden Horse Awards.[39] He is set to star in another lead role as a retired gas station owner in the upcoming crime film All Journey Toward Death.[40]
