Hyunwoo Kim

3×3 · top 1.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022KIMH02

Hyunwoo Kim has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.95, set at Teknostallen 2026, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 25th in Norway. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 29 competitions since June 2022, he has put 647 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.91 in June 2022 to 6.95, a 75% improvement. Hyunwoo has entered 29 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

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.
