KUALA LUMPUR: Instead of a fun-filled event, Wanna One's Malaysian fan meet tonight turned chaotic when some fans fainted and others injured within the first 10 minutes of the event.

Held at Stadium Negara tonight, the event has attracted more than 10,000 strong crowd, filling the venue to the brim.

While the K-Pop group was performing its opening set, fans in the packed rock zone were seen to be pushing one another to the front in an effort to get closer to the stage.

As a result, some of them fainted due to the over-crowded environment, while some suffered from injuries due to all the pushing.

Wanna One members were sent backstage while the security team and the paramedics tended to those affected.

The remaining fans in the rock zone were asked by the event crew to move to the back but they seem to refuse to budge.

A representative from The Royal Malaysian Police said should fans refuse to cooperate, the fan meet may be called off.

The fan meet has since been delayed for more than 40 minutes now as the crew and security team attempted to put things back in order.
