Kim JhinWoo (김진우)
3×3 · top 9.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2024 · 2024JHIN01
Kim JhinWoo (김진우) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.68, set at BC Championship 2024, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 539th in Republic of Korea. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2024, he has put 38 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.76 in April 2024 to 10.68, a 28% improvement. Kim has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
