Shinyoung Park has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.79, set at Korean Championship 2016, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 99th in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2016, he has put 74 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.44 in August 2016 to 10.58, a 21% improvement. Shinyoung 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.
