ALL’N (올린) announces plan to drop his latest single, ‘DING’!
Violin-driven K-pop artist ALL’N has announced the release of his third single, ‘DING.’ The track is a fun and energetic banger instilled with the artist’s signature violin sound and inspired by his chance encounter with K-pop boy group TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER).
The track showcases ALL’N’s more playful and experimental side, and he has once again led the overall production for the single —from its lyrics and arrangement to its sound design and creative direction. He shares, “It was also exciting for me because this style brought me back to the kind of electronic music I used to produce when I was performing as a violin-driven DJ after my idol training days in China.”
ALL’N is a self-produced solo artist and the founder/CEO of his label, SKS Entertainment. His recent release, ‘Dream Higher,’ surpassed 1 million views on YouTube less than a month after its release in August.
‘DING’ is scheduled for release on October 2, 2026.
ABOUT ALL’N
ALL’N is a South Korean-American singer-songwriter, producer, and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of his self-established company, SKS Entertainment, who gained attention for his unique violin-driven talent. After spending years as a competitive violinist, dedicating himself to the arts, and founding his own entertainment agency, ALL’N is finally making his dreams a reality.
Born Sam Sungmin Kang, the artist chose a stage name rooted in the English phrase “All in,” representing how he gives his all to his craft and his everyday life. The name also holds a clever second meaning derived from the Korean word for violin (“바이올린”). The last two syllables of the word (“올린”) are read as ALL’N, which phonetically sounds like the English phrase “all in.”
On April 15, 2026, ALL’N debuted with his single ‘We Up,’ a track that mixes modern elements with classical violin sounds. He oversaw the entire creation of the project, participating in its music production, choreography, styling, visual direction, and overall concept. Following its release, ALL’N performed ‘We Up’ live across major South Korean music programs, including M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, Inkigayo, and Show Champion. The single racked up over 250,000 streams on Spotify, with its “Extended Mix” and “Instrumental” versions gathering over 140,000 cumulative plays.
ALL’N’s second single, ‘Dream Higher,’ which was released on August 14, garnered 1 million views on YouTube in less than a month after its release. It encourages listeners to “dream higher.” Instilled with his signature violin sound, the song features the artist taking a fresh approach by infusing an electric guitar for the first time. He once again proved his multifaceted talent by overseeing the creation and production of both the track and the music video.
Before debuting as ALL’N, he had already established a name for himself as an A-Class contestant on iQIYI’s Youth With You, one of China’s biggest survival shows. Following the release of ‘Dream Higher,’ ALL’N is set to showcase more sides of himself by experimenting with different genres while seamlessly incorporating his signature violin sound—a unique element in the K-pop scene.
