3×3 · top 2.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022MINJ02
Bae Minjun (배민준) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.75, set at Korean Championship 2023, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 142nd in Republic of Korea. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2022, he has put 98 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.53 in July 2022 to 7.75, a 26% improvement. Bae has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
