Devoted fans of the pop star are calling for that a person who breached a fence and touched the actress during the recent Wicked: For Good premiere be taken into custody or deported from Singapore.

A widely shared video shows the Australian man shoving aside photographers and lunging at Grande while the cast proceeded down a event pathway flanked by supporters.

Co-star Cynthia Erivo quickly guided the shocked star away from Mr Wen, who was spotted being led away of the gathering by security officers.

Mr Wen shared on Instagram recently that he was "let go after being arrested", though legal records indicated that he was scheduled to attend court on the following morning. It is unknown if he was charged.

Pattern of Event Invasions

This is not an isolated incident for Mr Wen, who labels himself a "Notorious Troublemaker", has invaded a performance. His Instagram feed contains clips of him interrupting other celebrity events, including rushing the platform at the pop singer's Sydney performance in June this year and in a comparable manner during The Chainsmokers performance in the same location last year.

"Steps should be implemented enforced against him as this is evidently a legal violation," commented an Instagram user, in a message to a video Mr Wen uploaded of his behavior.

"Oh wow so you do this a lot... how aren't you in jail?" one Instagram user remarked.

Supporters Express Concern Over Ariana's Safety

Numerous followers accused Mr Wen for "re-traumatising" Grande, who had revealed experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder after a suicide bomb attack at the finale of her 2017 performance in Manchester, claiming the lives of 22 people and harming numerous individuals.

"The star has endured numerous terrifying experiences... including the Manchester tragedy, and you believed breaching security was amusing?" commented another comment on Instagram.

Some fans also questioned event staff at the gathering for not being vigilant enough; while others demanded online networks to remove Mr Wen's uploads.

Reaction and Premiere Information

In footage shared widely, Grande appeared startled when she was touched by the intruder. Her cast members Michelle Yeoh and Erivo can be seen consoling her while Mr Wen was removed by staff.

Grande has remained silent on the incident, and the remaining proceedings carried on uninterrupted.

Many of fans had assembled in a sea of green and pink at the Wicked: For Good international premiere in a Singapore venue, including some who had stood in line for as long as a significant duration before it commenced.

The movie, to be released on November 21, is the sequel of a dual interpretation of the popular theatrical production Wicked, which revolves around the unexpected friendship between two contrasting witches.

The production itself is a adaptation of the classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Grande, who acts as the character Glinda Glinda, was adorned in a champagne pink sequin dress at the gathering while Erivo, who portrays the wicked witch, wore a sleek black dress embroidered with roses.

They were accompanied by co-star Jeff Goldblum.

The first movie, Wicked, was the most successful film of last year in the UK, and scored ten award recognitions, earning several for excellent wardrobe and set decoration.
