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.

Pororo's popularity has nicknamed the character, "the children's president in south korea".
