Loyal supporters of the pop star are calling for that a person who jumped a fence and seized the celebrity during the recent Wicked: For Good premiere be detained or deported from Singapore.

"There needs to be action applied against him as this is evidently a punishable act," stated 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.

Supporters Express Concern Over Grande's Well-being

Several supporters accused Mr Wen for "re-traumatising" Grande, who had discussed suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after a suicide bomb attack at the conclusion of her May 2017 show in Manchester, resulting in the death of 22 people and wounding many.
