Youk MinSeop (육민섭)
3×3 · top 4.6% of 288,433 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017MINS02
Youk MinSeop (육민섭) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.85, set at Korean Championship 2019, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 278th in Republic of Korea. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2017, he has put 123 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.29 in December 2017 to 8.85, a 49% improvement. Youk has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
