Recording artist Justin Bieber accepts the Top Male Artist award onstage during the 2016 Billboard Music Awards at T-Mobile Arena on May 22, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Justin Bieber remaining unnoticed in a crowd seems an impossible thing. Isn't it? But Pokemon Go has made the impossible possible in early hours of Monday.

Pokemon Go players were so involved in playing the game at the New York City's Central Park that they could not even realize the presence of star singer Justin Bieber among them.

Bieber and his friends remained unrecognized by fans and followers as everyone was busy finding the monsters at the given landmarks. The singer's manager Scooter Barun shared a post on Instagram where the star was seen chasing a rare Pokemon along with other players. The video featured players talking about the Gyarados in search of which all the players ran down the city blocks.

The People reported that the gamers had no time to miss the pop-ups on their smartphones and hence they never looked up to notice who was around.  "This is amazing," Braun captioned the video clip. "@justinbieber and [music video director and Bieber pal] @alfredoflores in nyc looking for Pokemon and no one looks at who is next to them," he accompanied the text with several emojis. 

"When #Gyrados decides to pop up across the street from Central Park and all hell breaks loose!" Flores captioned the Instagram video. 

The video footage shared on Instagram by the Bieber's manager indicated how the deep and immense involvement of the players proved harmful, prompting to Central Park stampede on July 14. The players, on that day, were chasing super-rare Vaporean on one of the stops. In the event, some players even jumped out of their vehicles to reach the creature first.

Prior to Bieber, according to the US magazine, other celebrities also enjoyed Pokemon Go. Where john Meyers paid a lump sum and shared the screenshot of his purchase online, Tyga seemed to ignore girlfriend Kylie Jenner while playing the game at Budapest airport. The list is incomplete without the mention of Nick Jonas, who tweeted about tourmate Demi Lovato's obsession for the game. 

Here is the music video of Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself".
