“Johnson Wen was deported to Australia on November 23, 2025 and has been barred from re-entering Singapore,” the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said on Sunday.
The 26-year-old was on November 17 sentenced to nine days’ jail for public nuisance.
In sentencing, District Judge Christopher Goh told Wen that he was “attention-seeking” and that he was wrong to think that he would have suffered no consequences for his acts in Singapore.
Wen, who has been remanded from November 14, pleaded guilty to one charge of causing annoyance to the public by causing a commotion during the Singapore premiere of the film Wicked: For Good.
On the evening of November 13, Universal Studios Singapore hosted a yellow carpet event for the Wicked: For Good movie.
