- Marina Bay & Singapore River: The urban landscape including spots such as Gardens by the Bay and the Singapore Flyer will be illuminated in red ("Arirang red") every evening from December 8 to 22, 2026.
- Zouk Singapore: Hosting the opening and closing night parties, featuring curated BTS playlists and exclusive experimental programming.
For young people seeking nightlife, the legendary club Zouk Singapore is confirmed to join the festivities by hosting "takeover" events for both the opening and closing nights. These events will be entirely dedicated to BTS, featuring playlists of the group’s music alongside experimental programming specially curated for guests.
The Singapore Tourism Board has stated that this initiative represents the largest city-wide activation project they have ever undertaken with a single musical artist, a move expected to significantly boost international tourist arrivals toward the end of the year.
Overall, "THE CITY ARIRANG" project is more than just a typical music celebration; it represents a new form of innovation within the global entertainment and tourism industries. By integrating music concerts, tourist attractions, digital art, and nightlife, BTS once again demonstrates an influence that extends well beyond the concert stage.
Fans eager to experience this extraordinary event firsthand can look forward to the gradual release of detailed information including entry requirements, all-access passes, and the full schedule for each zone via the Singapore Tourism Board’s official website in the near future.
