Heesung Kim (김희성) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.58, set at Rubik's WCA World Championship 2023, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 525th in Republic of Korea. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2023, he has put 34 official solves on the record across four events. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.40 in May 2023 to 3.06, a 10% improvement. Heesung 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.
