Hung received his bachelor's degree in history from Tamkang University. He went on to earn his master's and doctoral degrees in East Asian Studies from National Chengchi University.
Hung has taught at several universities, such as Taipei National University of the Arts, Ming Chuan University, Tunghai University and Fo Guang University. He also served as a cultural official for the Taipei County Government.[2] He attempted to resign in September 2015, after Next Magazine alleged that the Ministry of Culture had bribed members of the Kuomintang.[3] Premier Mao Chi-kuo did not accept Hung's offer.[4]
