Renowned figures in the music industry, including music producer Kim Jin-hwan, traditional Korean music composer Yang Seung-hwan, film music director Lee Ji-soo, and YouTuber/singer-songwriter Eunzel, collaborated to arrange the music and write lyrics for the project.

A diverse range of musicians participated in bringing the project to life, including singer Lee Solomon, members of the National Gugak Center Park Jin-hee and Lee Joo-eun, vocal majors from Gugak National Middle School, guitarist Lee Tae-Wook from the band Soran, and bassist Kim Ki-wook from BTS' live band Ghost.
