In video footage from the incident, Wen can be seen smiling as he wraps his arm around Grande's shoulder. At that moment, actress Cynthia Erivo quickly intervened and separated Wen from Grande, after which the security team escorted Wen out. Despite the chaos, Wen could not hide his joy and was even seen jumping up and down. A shocked Grande took a deep breath while being comforted by her fellow cast members.
Wen has previously engaged in similar disruptive behavior. He is reported to have trespassed at several events attended by celebrities such as Katy Perry, The Weeknd, and The Chainsmokers.
Even after this incident, Wen posted on his Instagram account, "Tonight I finally met Ariana Grande. Thank you for letting me join her on the carpet." He also uploaded a video showing the circumstances of the incident, drawing criticism from Grande's fans.
