Woo Joo Lee has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.63, set at Darmstadt Dodecahedron Days 2024, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 81st in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2024, he has put 607 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.51 in March 2024 to 9.21, a 20% improvement. Woo has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
