The exhibition takes place throughout Terminals 1 to 4 of Changi Airport. In Terminal 3, which has the highest foot traffic, a 7-meter-tall Bellygom sculpture and the main photo zone inspired by the distinctive traditional "Peranakan House" architectural style of Singapore have been set up.
Bellygom decorations and photo zones are installed throughout the airport, including rest areas and dining spaces, allowing visitors to naturally experience the exhibition. At the pop-up store themed after the Singaporean neighborhood shop "Mama Shop," 45 types of character merchandise, including limited-edition goods, are being showcased. There is also a play experience zone designed after the outdoor food court "Hawker Center." During the exhibition period, live events with Bellygom mascot appearances will be held every weekend.
