Juwon Kim
2×2 · top 8.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2023 · 2023KIMJ02
Juwon Kim has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.45, set at Korean Championship 2024, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 241st in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2023, he has put 50 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.48 in April 2023 to 10.85, a 70% improvement. Juwon has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
