Hojun Yang has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.29, set at Korean Championship 2024, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 68th in Republic of Korea. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2023, he has put 76 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 4.77 in March 2024 to 3.29, a 31% improvement. Hojun has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
