But as of this week the newest king of the Rubik's Cube world, SeungBeom Cho, twiddled his fingers to the fastest ever recorded solve in 4.59 seconds. Competitors rush to congratulate Cho -- who seems overcome with his new world record. There's a reason why everyone was so surprised at Cho's world record -- the South Korean did it in his first round of the day. Cho was the only South Korean at the Chicago ChicaGhosts 2017 Rubik's Cube event. According to the World Cube Association's website (yes, of course a World Cube Association exists) the 23-year-old's previous personal best was 6.54 seconds.
