Beom Joon Kim (김범준) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.18, set at Nisei Week 2017, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 457th in Republic of Korea. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since February 2017, he has put 59 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.11 in February 2017 to 10.18, a 22% improvement. Beom has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
