Myeong Hyeon Ung (명현웅) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.82, set at Korean Championship 2016, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 44th in Republic of Korea. Until December 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2014, he has put 117 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.70 in December 2014 to 3.65, a 36% improvement. Myeong has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
