Seon Woong Choi (최선웅) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.21, set at Korean Championship 2024, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 177th in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since February 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 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.66 in February 2024 to 9.94, a 27% improvement. Seon has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
