Career
In 2016, he participated in the Indie Collaborate Quick Fire Box Challenge. In 2017, he was featured in a Lazada contest where contestants had to share their worst date stories and winners could go on a dream date with Joal.[2].

Regarding everything that has transpired over the last few months - Iām very sorry.
I have and again, want to sincerely apologise to everyone involved.
I am immensely remorseful to all the people that have been hurt in the process.
To clear up any uncertainties, it was a hacking incident on a default Cloud back up system that I was unaware of.
Thankfully, after months of working with the authorities, the hacker has been identified and is facing ongoing investigations, awaiting charges.
I would also like to clarify that I did not, and will not ever, share or send personal things to others.
I fell extremely short of how a good person should be.
I have since reflected, and am working on bettering myself to hopefully meet the prime examples that were shown to me, and to one day be deserving of the tremendous kindness and forgiveness that I have been given.
Once again, I am sorry.[11]

In 2018, shortly after their break up, a series of sex tapes and intimate photos taken during their 4-year committed relationship were leaked and disseminated after Joal's cloud backup system was reportedly hacked.[4] He has since deleted all his social media accounts, although his SoundCloud account is still up as of June 2019.[5]
There are still videos on Joal and Christabel Chua, taken during their time as a couple, on local YouTube channel TheSmartLocal.[3][6]
