Jung Hwan Lee has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.12, set at Play Cube 2018, puts him in the top 0.14% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Republic of Korea. Until November 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since May 2015, he has put 312 official solves on the record across eleven events.

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.
