Yunsung Nam has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.47, set at Hamoye Jinju 2026, puts him in the top 0.24% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Republic of Korea. Until April 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since June 2024, he has put 1,094 official solves on the record across eleven events.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
