Kapanlagi.com - Baim Wong, who was previously known as one of Indonesia's top YouTubers, now appears to upload content less frequently on his channel. He admits that his focus is currently devoted to working on various film projects as a director and producer.
However, Baim emphasizes that he will not leave YouTube completely. He promises to return to being active once his busyness in the film world subsides a bit.
"YouTube is still more about the film. I want to, really want to. It's just that I'm focused here right now," said Baim when met at Gandaria City, Monday (8/9/2025).
1. Change YouTube Channel Name
As a transitional step, Baim also explained that he has neutralized the name of his channel. From the original 'Baim Paula', it has now been changed to 'Tiger Wong Entertainment' to focus more on his film production content.
"We just neutralized the name, right? Baim Paula was the name. Oh, it was finally changed to Tiger Wong. So it's not my name, it's not her name (Paula)," he explained.
2. More Profitable to Work on Films?
Meanwhile, when asked about the comparison of income between the two platforms, Baim Wong did not hesitate to provide a straightforward and surprising answer. He admitted that from a financial perspective, the film industry is far more profitable for him.
"Which is more profitable, films or YouTube?" asked the media crew. "Films, of course," Baim replied briefly.
3. Baim Wong's New Focus: From Content Creator to Film Director
In September 2024, Baim Wong revealed that his main focus has shifted to the film industry. This busy schedule has drastically reduced his vlogging activities.
Baim Wong started his new career as a director by working on a horror film titled Lembayung. This project marks his initial step behind the scenes of Indonesian cinema.
Not stopping at one film, Baim Wong continued his journey by directing a second horror film, Sukma. This film is scheduled to be released in cinemas across Indonesia starting September 11, 2025.
