Words that rhyme with Hong
Hong is a common-tongue word: one-syllable, vowel sitting on the round /ษ/, ending that rings out through a nasal. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something.

Why hong rhymes the way it does
Hong sits on the open /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 29, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 6,983, and consonance 284. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Hong rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
