Loyal fans of the actress are demanding that a person who breached a fence and touched the performer during the recent Wicked: For Good premiere be arrested or deported from Singapore.

A viral footage reveals the Australian man bypassing photographers and lunging at Grande while the performers made its way down a yellow carpet flanked by supporters.

Fellow actress Cynthia Erivo quickly wrested the surprised star away from Mr Wen, who was spotted being removed of the premiere by event staff.

Mr Wen stated on Instagram recently that he was "free after being arrested", though official papers indicated that he was due to appear on the following morning. It is not clear if he was faced legal action.

History of Event Invasions

This is not the first time for Mr Wen, who describes himself as a "Notorious Troublemaker", has crashed a performance. His Instagram account contains videos of him disturbing other star-studded functions, including jumping on stage at the artist's Sydney show in June this year and in a comparable manner during The Chainsmokers event in the same location last December.

"Measures must be taken taken against him as this is obviously a legal violation," commented an Instagram commenter, in a reply to a video Mr Wen uploaded of his act.

"This appears to be a habit... why are you not imprisoned?" another Instagram user questioned.

Fans Express Concern Over Ariana's Past Trauma

Several fans accused Mr Wen for "causing further distress" Grande, who had discussed experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder after a suicide bomb attack at the conclusion of her May 2017 concert in Manchester, claiming the lives of 22 people and wounding numerous individuals.

"The star has endured numerous terrifying experiences... including the Manchester tragedy, and you believed breaching security was amusing?" said one more response on Instagram.

A number of fans also faulted security officers at the premiere for not being adequately prepared; while others demanded online networks to ban Mr Wen's content.

Response and Event Details

In videos circulating online, Grande appeared startled when she was grabbed by the individual. Her fellow actors Michelle Yeoh and Erivo can be spotted consoling her while Mr Wen was led out by security.

Grande has not commented on the incident, and the rest of the event proceeded as normal.

Many of fans had congregated in a mass of green and pink at the Wicked: For Good Asia-Pacific premiere in a Singapore shopping center, including a number who had stood in line for as long as eight hours before it commenced.

The film, to be premiered on the 21st of November, is the sequel of a dual version of the well-known Broadway and West End production Wicked, which revolves around the surprising relationship between two very different witches.

The musical itself is a derivative of the twentieth-century children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Grande, who acts as the character Glinda Glinda, was decked out in a light pink glittering gown at the premiere while Erivo, who plays the wicked witch, wore a black tube gown embroidered with roses.

They were alongside fellow actor Jeff Goldblum.

The first movie, Wicked, was the highest-grossing film of last year in the UK, and earned 10 Oscar nominations, winning two for outstanding attire and set decoration.
