KEY POINTS

•Backstage, Hong met 'Heated Rivalry' stars Connor Storrie and half-Korean Hudson Williams, who presented an award for best female supporting actor.

On January 5, 2026, Seventeen’s Joshua Hong, South Korea’s shining It Boy and first male K-pop attendee at the Golden Globes, flexed a black suit and blingy Chaumet jewels before backstage invading HBO Max’s hottest hockey romance drama, 'Heated Rivalry,' like it was a TikTok collab. Hudson Williams, half-Korean and freshly crowned best female supporting actor-presenter, greeted Hong with a buddy 'Fellow Koreans!' Connor Storrie joined the awkward power pose, sending social media fandoms into a combined meltdown worthy of a 5-alarm fire alarm. Hong confessed he hadn’t seen the hockey porno—I mean, romance show—yet but promised to binge like his tour across Southeast Asia depends on it. Meanwhile, Hollywood’s United Talent Agency got eyes on Hong’s new script for stateside domination. Meanwhile, TikTok remains the real MVP, making 'Heated Rivalry' a 2025 ratings juggernaut.
