Choi Jong-il
Jong Il Choi (최종일?) is the creator of the Flowering Heart series. He was born November 5, 1965. He is the president and CEO of Iconix Entertainment, which produces the series. Choi is best known as the creator of Pororo, a cartoon penguin which is a global hit. Choi feels the cartoon's success stems from the fact the penguin and his adventures are all about a kid's daily life, in contrast to western cartoons' penchant for "idealistic" themes, such as saving the world or fighting justice or showing extraordinary bravery.
