The forthcoming project follows ‘DING’, a playful October single that drew on electronic music and a backstage encounter with TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT). This time, ALL’N is shifting toward a more confident, dance-led sound while retaining his string-based approach.

A mood trailer is already available, but several release details remain under wraps. Here is what listeners know ahead of November 23.

  • Distribution: EMPIRE, according to the release announcement

A Dance-Focused Sound With the Violin Up Front

For ‘Four Seasons’, ALL’N is placing a violin melody at the heart of a more movement-oriented K-pop direction. The announcement describes the upcoming music as confident and dance-focused, following the gentler tone of ‘Dream Higher’ and the high-energy production of ‘DING’.

The title is personal. According to the artist, the four seasons represent changes he has lived through, including difficult periods and more hopeful stretches. Those chapters inform the way he now understands his music and his role as a label founder.

In a statement shared with the press, ALL’N said the new release is about ‘moving forward with more confidence in who I am.’ He also described it as the clearest expression so far of his attempt to combine K-pop and violin.

How ‘We Up’, ‘Dream Higher’ and ‘DING’ Set the Stage

ALL’N made his solo debut on April 15, 2026, with ‘We Up’. The single combined modern K-pop production with the classical instrument he had studied for years. His involvement also extended beyond performing, covering the music, choreography, styling and overall visual concept.

The debut led to performances on Korean music programmes including ‘M Countdown’, ‘Music Bank’, ‘Inkigayo’ and ‘Show Champion’. For a new solo act, those appearances offered opportunities to introduce the violin-led sound to television audiences.

On August 14, he followed with ‘Dream Higher’, a more reflective song about ambition and persistence. Electric guitar joined the violin, broadening the arrangement without removing the instrument that listeners had started to associate with him.

Then came ‘DING’ on October 2. The song grew from an encounter with TXT in an elevator during his debut promotions, according to the artist’s account. Its heavy bass, synthesizers, rap and electronic influences drew on the DJ work he pursued before his K-pop debut.

Taken together, the three singles show a performer testing different sides of his sound in quick succession. ‘Four Seasons’ is the next release in that run, arriving a little over seven months after ‘We Up’.

The Classical Violinist Behind ALL’N

Before his solo debut, Sam Sungmin Kang trained as a competitive violinist and appeared on the Chinese talent programme ‘Youth With You’. He also developed a violin-based DJ career in China before establishing SKS Entertainment, the company he now runs as CEO.

His stage name has two meanings. ‘All in’ reflects his commitment to his career, while 올린 (ollin) comes from the final two syllables of the Korean word for violin, 바이올린 (baiollin). The instrument is part of his name as well as his recordings.

In an August interview with Billboard Philippines, ALL’N said he began playing violin at nine. He connected his classical training with the patience needed for choreography, recording and running a music business. That hands-on approach also helps explain his interest in moving between genres rather than staying with one arrangement.

What Fans Can Check Ahead of November 23

The November 23 release date and EMPIRE distribution are announced, but no complete track list, release hour or confirmed ordering details have been supplied for ‘Four Seasons’. Listeners should not assume that individual streaming platforms or album retailers have already opened pre-orders.

For now, fans can watch the mood trailer and revisit the videos for ‘We Up’, ‘Dream Higher’ and ‘DING’. They can also follow SKS Entertainment’s official website for further announcements about the new music and its availability.
