Juan Kim has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.46, set at Korean Championship 2025, puts him in the top 0.83% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 60th in Republic of Korea. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2024, he has put 184 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.02 in June 2024 to 6.46, a 28% improvement. Juan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
