Same day turn at FRA SQ26 to SQ25
So I booked a mileage run deal over thanksgiving from JFK to SIN, which allows me to do an additional leg between SIN-FRA-SIN.
So on 11/27 I will arrive to FRA at 6:20 am on SQ26 and return to sin 11/27 at 11:40 on SQ 25
Question
1. Will SQ give me boarding pass for both SQ26 and 25 at changi?
2. If not, will I be able to go to transfer desk as terminal 1 at FRA getting my SQ 25 boarding pass? I am hoping to avoid going thru customs.
So on 11/27 I will arrive to FRA at 6:20 am on SQ26 and return to sin 11/27 at 11:40 on SQ 25

And certainly you won’t have to go landside in FRA

I just completed 4 out of 6 legs in SQ J.
1. I was able to get both SQ 26 and 25 boarding pass at Singapore. Check in desk lady was amused that I was spending money to turn around in FRA.
2. Outbound SQ26 arrived into FRA early- I was out of customs at 6:20am.
3. I was able to buy a new rimowa from world shop (LH cracked my rimowa and stated they will pay for my replacement). Checked new luggage in by 6:45am with custom stamp for VAT refund.
4. I was able to go to city center- grabbed coffee and bought LV bag for my wife. I was able to get back to airport at 10:40am. Made through customs and reached gate area by 10:50am. Did more shopping for wife and VAT refund- it was super fast. I got back to the gate at 11:05 just at start of boarding.
5. Arrived into Singapore at 6:06am and was back at hotel by 7:15 am.
The flight was complete full from JFK to SIN on first portion. The SIN-FRA-SIN was also full. This was surprise for me as my flight was Thursday. And SIN-FRA-SIN was Tuesday and Wednesday. Fully packed.

So, just confirming, as I'm a bit confused while reading through all the posts:
1) You began your (marathon) SQ J journey at JFK, on SQ25.
2) You transited at FRA, and then continued on to SIN, still on SQ25.
3) You then took SQ26 from SIN-FRA.
4) At FRA, you "turned around" and went back to SIN on SQ25.
5) You've eventually ended up at SIN.
I hope this is right?

I did SQ26 to SQ25 at FRA. I am back in Singapore and will go home on 12/5 to JFK via FRA.
