DongGun Kim (김동건) has been competing for 10 months. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.85, set at Seoul Summer 2026, puts him in the top 0.29% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Republic of Korea. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since November 2025, he has put 36 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.32 in November 2025 to 6.39, a 13% improvement. DongGun has entered two competitions.

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.
