Jaemin Bae (배재민) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.74, set at Korean Championship 2018, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 395th in Republic of Korea. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2016, he has put 74 official solves on the record across four events.

Jaemin has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
