David Lee (이지현) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.62, set at Honolulu Hoʻoilo 2025, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,251st in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since August 2024, he has put 271 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.03 in August 2024 to 8.62, a 22% improvement. David has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
