On October 2, violin-driven K-pop solo artist ALL’N (올린) released his third single, “DING,” across streaming platforms. ALL’N is a South Korean-American singer-songwriter, producer, and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of his self-established company, SKS Entertainment. He quickly garnered attention for his unique violin-driven artistry and authenticity across social media platforms.
Following the release of his second single, “Dream Higher,” on August 14, ALL’N continues to build momentum. “Dream Higher” garnered 1 million views on YouTube in less than a month after its release, capturing viewers with its energetic sound and self-empowering lyrical composition.
ALL’N returns with his most playful and experimental release yet. “DING” blends K-pop with dubstep, incorporating electric guitar, heavy bass, Serum-designed synths, and rap alongside his signature violin sound.
“DING” acts as a full-circle moment for ALL’N, bringing him back to the electronic music style he produced during his violin-driven DJ career following his trainee days in China. ALL’N fully spearheaded “DING” himself, handling the production, arrangement, sound design, and creative direction.
Taking inspiration from everyday life, “DING” draws from the familiar sound of an elevator. The song was also inspired by ALL’N’s viral encounter with K-pop boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) during music show promotions for his debut single, “We Up.”
“I ended up in an elevator with TXT, we started talking, and what could have been a very normal backstage moment somehow turned into this funny interaction that I later shared online.” — ALL’N
What started as a spontaneous and lighthearted interaction quickly became a vibrant dubstep track, reminding the A’LLN audience that inspiration can come from all corners of life. For ALL’N, it was about turning a backstage memory into a story through music. Following ambitious, empowering, and emotional releases, ALL’N showcases a new facet of his artistry with this track.
The video that inspired it all, in which ALL’N shared his TXT encounter, garnered millions of views across social media platforms worldwide.
“I was honestly shocked and extremely grateful. So many TXT fans and K-pop fans discovered me through that story. At that time, I had only just debuted with ‘We Up.’ So, for many of them, it was also their first introduction to me and to the idea of violin-driven K-pop. I’m genuinely thankful that the encounter helped introduce my music to people who may never have found me otherwise. Hopefully, TXT and their fans can enjoy it, too. The song really comes from a place of appreciation for a funny encounter that unexpectedly became an important part of my own debut story.” — ALL’N
Having been featured across well-known platforms such as Billboard, Sweety High, MEGA Magazine, The Korea Herald, and Rolling Stone Korea, ALL’N continues to encourage listeners to “Dream Higher” while now showing a more playful side of himself.
“DING” is available worldwide on all major streaming platforms.
