  • The latest video, 'Bus Timetable Vol. 4,' features team members Yuni, Jianwen, and Bryce hosting, with Joeman absent.
  • Joeman's team has suspended all his public appearances and activities, urging him to reflect and address his personal issues.

Million-subscriber YouTuber Joeman has temporarily stepped away from his official channel following a scandal involving allegations from his ex-girlfriend, Xiao Yi. The channel's latest upload, the fourth installment of the popular 'Bus Timetable' series, was released on schedule on the 28th but features Joeman entirely absent. The video's title explicitly states, "This channel is temporarily taken over," indicating the shift in management.

Team members Yuni, Jianwen, and Bryce have stepped in to host the episode. Yuni, who also serves as Joeman's manager, addressed the situation directly at the beginning of the video. She emphasized that the team has not interfered in Joeman's personal life but expressed shock and dismay upon learning of the allegations. Yuni firmly stated her disapproval of Joeman's "deviant views on relationships" and "immature behavior," announcing that she has "locked him up" and suspended all his public recordings and activities.

As a woman, I absolutely cannot condone the boss's deviant views on relationships and some of his immature behavior, so I have now decided to lock him up.

— YuniJoeman's manager and team member explaining the decision to suspend his public activities and have him reflect on his personal issues.

Joeman is instructed to "reflect properly, adjust himself, and face his life's challenges." This move aims to give him space to address the issues stemming from the controversy. The team's actions reflect a commitment to transparency with his fanbase, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation while managing the channel's content pipeline.

Despite Joeman's current hiatus, discussions about his potential return are already circulating online. Given his established reputation for in-depth tech reviews, particularly his annual tradition of traveling to the U.S. to unbox the latest Apple flagship iPhones, fans speculate he might reappear around the launch of the iPhone 18. This particular series is a significant driver of traffic for his channel, making its timing crucial for his comeback.

He needs to reflect properly, adjust himself, and face his life's challenges.
