The production team for "My Heart is Muzi" includes director Oh Seo-ro, an award-winning figure at international animation festivals; writer Shin Hae-gang, who has penned scripts for popular animations such as "Tayo" and "Tobot V"; and producer Park Moon-chi, known as a genius musician. Additionally, child psychology expert Jung Yoo-jin, head of Hightodak, served as an advisor.
