DaeYoon Lee (이대윤) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.93, set at Korean Championship 2023, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 175th in Republic of Korea. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2022, he has put 132 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.69 in August 2022 to 7.93, a 42% improvement. DaeYoon has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
