Creator of Pororo.
Choi created "Pororo the Little Penguin", which sold to 130 countries.
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.
He opened his first Pororo Park () in Seoul five years ago, bringing the total to seven Pororo Parks in South Korea, while there are currently three in China. He was recently in Singapore to open the Southeast Asia's first Pororo Park at Marina Square on November 11, 2015.
