Kwon Minjun (권민준)
3×3 · top 5.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2024 · 2024MINJ01
Kwon Minjun (권민준) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.24, set at Suwon Summer 2025, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 326th in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since January 2024, he has put 78 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% 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 11.68 in January 2024 to 9.24, a 21% improvement. Kwon has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
