Violin-driven K-pop solo artist ALL’N (올린) has released his third single, “DING,” available worldwide via EMPIRE. The track takes on a fresh approach while staying true to his signature violin sound.

Around one month and three weeks since his empowering anthem “Dream Higher,” ALL’N returns with his most playful and experimental release yet. “DING” blends K-pop with dubstep, infusing electric guitar, heavy bass, Serum-designed synths, and rap with his signature violin sound.

The high-energy single is a certified banger powered by energetic production and fun lyrics. “DING” marks a full-circle moment for ALL’N, bringing him back to the electronic music style he produced during his violin-driven DJ career after his trainee days in China. ALL’N fully spearheaded “DING” himself, handling the production, arrangement, sound design, and creative direction.

Named after the sound of an elevator, “DING” was inspired by ALL’N’s viral moment 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.”

Drawing from that spontaneous, lighthearted interaction birthed “DING.” 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 of ALL’N sharing his TXT encounter garnered millions of views across social media.

“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.”

“DING” already contained all the ingredients for a great song: the elevator encounter, the “ding” sound, the humor, and the K-pop setting—a real moment people enjoyed and remembered. ALL’N envisioned turning that memory into something people could sing, dance, and jump to.

“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.”
