Passionate followers of the actress are urging that a individual who breached a fence and seized the actress during yesterday's Wicked: For Good debut be taken into custody or removed from Singapore.

A circulating clip depicts the individual from Australia pushing past photographers and rushing toward Grande while the cast walked down a event pathway accompanied by onlookers.

Co-star Cynthia Erivo quickly pulled the stunned actress away from Mr Wen, who was seen being led away of the event by guards.

Mr Wen stated on Instagram Thursday evening that he was "let go after being taken in", though court documents showed that he was due to appear on the following morning. It is uncertain if he was formally accused.

History of Event Invasions

This is not the first time for Mr Wen, who labels himself a "Troll Most Hated", has disrupted a celebrity gathering. His Instagram account includes videos of him disrupting other celebrity events, including breaching the performance area at the artist's Sydney show in earlier this year and in a similar way during The Chainsmokers concert in the city last year.

"Measures must be taken taken against him as this is evidently a criminal offence," commented an Instagram user, in a response to a video Mr Wen posted of his act.

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

Several fans accused Mr Wen for "causing further distress" Grande, who had revealed experiencing trauma-related anxiety after a terrorist explosion at the conclusion of her 2017 show in Manchester, resulting in the death of 22 people and harming many.

"After everything she's faced... including the Manchester attack, you considered it entertaining to rush the barrier?" commented another message on Instagram.

A number of attendees also faulted security officers at the gathering for not being adequately prepared; while some requested online networks to remove Mr Wen's uploads.

Response and Premiere Information

In videos spreading on the internet, Grande appeared startled when she was touched by the man. Her cast members Michelle Yeoh and Erivo can be seen comforting her while Mr Wen was removed by security.

Grande has remained silent on the situation, and the rest of the event proceeded as normal.

Numerous of supporters had gathered in a sea of green and pink at the Wicked: For Good international launch in a Singapore shopping center, including a number who had waited for as long as many hours before it commenced.
