Min-gun Cho has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.94, set at Busan Winter 2016, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 429th in Republic of Korea. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2016, he has put 51 official solves on the record across three events.

He 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.
