SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (August 15, 2026) — Rising K-pop soloist ALL’N turns personal struggle into cinematic spectacle with “Dream Higher,” his second digital single and official music video, released August 14.




Written and produced by ALL’N, Dream Higher brings together rapid-fire rap, emotional vocals and electric violin against a visually dramatic backdrop of chains, darkness and pouring rain.

The result is an ambitious follow-up that gives the emerging artist another opportunity to establish a musical and visual identity distinctly his own.

“Dream Higher” Turns Struggle Into Cinematic Drama

The official music video wastes little time establishing its darker atmosphere.

One of its most striking sequences places ALL’N behind a web of heavy chains, creating a powerful visual representation of confinement. The imagery shifts between stark black-and-white photography, cold blue environments and solitary performance sequences before opening into the video’s dramatic rain-soaked climax.

ALL’N moves between vulnerability and defiance throughout the visual — at times standing beneath the downpour with his arms extended and at others falling against the rain-covered ground.

Against the uplifting implications of the title Dream Higher, those darker images create an effective contrast between struggle and determination.




ALL’N Brings His Electric Violin Into the Rain

Then comes one of the video’s defining moments.

Screenclips from ALL’N’s “Dream Higher” official music video capture the artist’s cinematic chains imagery, dramatic rain sequences and electric violin performance.

ALL’N takes up his electric violin and performs in the pouring rain, bringing an instrument central to his developing musical identity directly into the visual narrative.

The MV also presents ALL’N performing violin against a dramatic black-and-white backdrop, but the rain sequence pushes the concept considerably further. With water pouring around him as he plays, the song’s violin arrangement and cinematic imagery finally converge.

Rather than treating the instrument as an occasional visual accessory, Dream Higher positions the electric violin as part of ALL’N’s signature sound and artistic identity.




ALL’N Maintains Creative Control

The ambitious visual also reflects just how much creative control ALL’N maintains over his work.

He wrote and produced “Dream Higher,” co-directed the official music video with BRICK and edited the finished production himself.

Benny Benefit handled the song’s arrangement, recording, mixing and mastering, while the release reaches global audiences through a distribution partnership with EMPIRE.

Taken together, Dream Higher presents ALL’N as more than the performer standing in front of the camera. He is actively shaping the music, imagery and overall direction surrounding his emerging solo career.

For a second digital single, that’s an impressive amount of artistic territory to claim.
