You are aware this happened in Taiwan, right? I mean the location (Taipei, a city there) is named right in the first part of the summary... you don't even have to RTFA...

They all have different family names.
Thomas Chien: family name is "Chien"
Wu Chien-Hung: family name is "Wu"
Justin Huang: family name is "Huang"
Mou Hsin Huang: family name is "Mou"
In Chinese, the family name is traditionally given first. Chinese who live in or frequently visit Western countries, or who often deal with Western visitors, often adopt Western given names for the convenience of people who don't speak Chinese. In such cases, they place the family name last, like most Westerners do, since this is what most Westerners expect. (My fiancée does this. And no, I'm not giving you either version of her name. :P)
Example: The famous Hong Kong actor Chan Gong-sang is better is known to English speakers as Jackie Chan. His family name is Chan.
Not sure what happens when Jackie visits Hungary, though. ;)
