In a recent Pride Month 2026 exclusive interview with Pop Base, JUST B’s member Bain, the first openly gay male idol in an active K-pop group, mentions Hudson Williams while discussing what connected him with “Heated Rivalry”.
"My love for “Heated Rivalry” is very real too. Hudson and I are the same age, and Connor is only a year older than me. So, what does that mean? I’m not saying it’s fate… but I’m not not saying it either [laughing]. What connected with me with “Heated Rivalry” wasn’t only the romance, but everything around it: the longing, the tension, the secrecy, the way Shane and Ilya spend so much time fighting the world, and sometimes themselves, while still finding their way back to each other.
What stayed with me most was how human they felt. Just people trying to protect love while learning how to exist honestly inside it. Maybe that’s why queer stories matter so much; they remind us that love has never been one-size-fits-all, and neither are people."

Aika Flores spoke about how working with Hudson Williams changed her career in a skincare routine article with TheCut.
“But the 34-year-old’s biggest break of all, the moment that changed her life, came this past December when she agreed to work on a cover shoot for an actor from a little show called Heated Rivalry.”
“That star was Hudson Williams — elaborate K-beauty skin-care routine and all. Since then, Flores has been on the go nonstop. ‘I’ve never traveled this much,’ she says. ‘I’ve never gotten so many media requests. I’m still getting used to people wanting to talk to me. It’s really changed the trajectory of my career.”
