Hyunjin Kim (김현진) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.05, set at Busan Spring 2024, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 303rd in Republic of Korea. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2023, he has put 29 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.45 in May 2023 to 9.05, a 27% improvement. Hyunjin 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.
