ALL’N Turns a Chance TXT Elevator Encounter Into His Playful New Single ‘DING’

Violin-driven K-pop artist ALL’N is turning an unexpected backstage encounter with TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) into music. The self-produced artist has announced his third single, ‘DING,’ set for worldwide release on October 2, 2026.

Known for weaving his signature violin sound into K-pop and electronic music, ALL’N is taking a noticeably more playful and experimental direction with ‘DING.’

For ALL’N, the track also marks a return to a sound that feels personally familiar. “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.”

The upcoming single follows ALL’N’s August release, ‘Dream Higher,’ which marked his first fusion of electric guitar and violin. The track surpassed 1 million YouTube views in less than a month.

‘DING’ was inspired by a chance encounter with TXT in an elevator during ALL’N’s Korean music show promotions. What started as an ordinary backstage moment turned into a memorable interaction that the artist later shared online.
