SEOUL, Nov. 10 (Yonhap) -- K-pop supergroup BTS will hold a series of offline events across Singapore throughout December to celebrate the local leg of its "ARIRANG" world tour, under a project titled "BTS THE CITY ARIRANG - SINGAPORE."

According to the group's agency, BigHit Music, the monthlong event, running from Dec. 1-31, will transform major tourist attractions across Singapore with themes inspired by BTS' music and its fifth studio album, "ARIRANG."

"This edition of 'The City' is being organized in extensive collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board and will feature the longest duration and largest number of programs in the project's history," the agency said. "It is an unprecedented urban project that will transform Singapore's entire year-end landscape."

At the indoor waterfall known as the Rain Vortex at Jewel Changi Airport, a light and music showcase will be held twice daily, at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., from Dec. 1-26. BTS songs will accompany cascading water and red lighting effects. Images related to "The City" will also be displayed on outdoor media screens throughout the complex.

Sentosa Island, one of Singapore's best-known resort destinations, will offer a variety of special attractions.

At Palawan Beach, a swimming character inspired by the key message "KEEP SWIMMING" from the group's fifth album's title track, "SWIM," will be installed.

A drone show will also light up the night sky over three consecutive days from Dec. 18-20. Around 1,500 drones will create images of BTS and iconic Singapore landmarks during the 10-minute performances.

Other programs include the "ARIRANG RUN," a running event featuring 5,000 participants wearing "The City"-themed T-shirts and caps, and "Sensoryscape," a stylish walking trail decorated with red lighting and hammocks.

Resorts World Sentosa will host a resort-wide light-up event, illuminating its extensive resort complex simultaneously. Universal Studios Singapore will extend its operating hours until late at night for one day on Dec. 21 to celebrate "The City." Fireworks synchronized with BTS music will also be presented over 16 days.

In addition, 15 major landmarks, including the Merlion, Singapore Flyer and Fullerton Hotel, will be illuminated in red every day from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. throughout the event.

"From the arrival hall at Changi Airport to transportation, hotels and concert venues, visitors will be able to enjoy a special journey encountering BTS throughout Singapore," BigHit Music said. "The entire city will serve as the backdrop for 'The City,' offering visitors an immersive experience."

BTS will hold four concerts at the Singapore National Stadium on Dec. 17, 19, 20 and 22 as part of its "ARIRANG" world tour. The four shows mark the largest number of concerts in a single location during the group's Asian tour.
