Joakim is of Korean-Indian descent, with a Korean mother and Indian father. He is also a long-time fan of Manchester United Football Club.[6] Joakim attended Chong Boon Secondary School and has a diploma in theatre from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA).[7] He served as a student councillor and student ambassador while studying at Chong Boon Secondary School.[8]


During his National Service, Joakim was in the Singapore Armed Forces Music and Drama Company. He hosted formal SAF dinners attended by the Minister of Defence and other foreign dignitaries as well as Recruit’s Evenings events.

Personal advocacy

Joakim joined several local personalities such as Sonia Chew, Roystan Tan and Andie Chen for the #LifeBeyondGrades campaign in 2018. The Instagram campaign reminds students and parents that future success is not solely determined by grades on a report card.[10]

Singapore Idol Season 2 (2006)
