Mystic, a 28-year-old content creator and former AD carry, has been accused of sexual assault by his former partner and streamer Yoo Hye-di. According to Yoo Hye-di, Mystic forced himself on her while she was sleeping. She has also made several other allegations against him on social media.
In a tweet by esports journalist Ashley Kang, Yoo Hye-di claims that she discovered she was pregnant with Mystic’s child in April. She alleges that Mystic did not use protection during their unplanned conception.
After confirming her pregnancy, Yoo Hye-di says that Mystic became distant and mistreated her during the entire period. She claims that he forced her to have sexual intercourse while she was pregnant, and even attempted to do so while she was asleep on multiple occasions.
Yoo Hye-di also mentions that Mystic made negative comments about their unborn child, stating that having the child was a stain on his life and expressing a desire to run away or die.
Ultimately, Yoo Hye-di says she was pressured into getting an abortion, and even after the procedure, Mystic remained distant and continued streaming without providing any support. She also accuses him of cheating on her shortly after the abortion. The two are no longer in a relationship.

Mystic was a professional League of Legends player from 2013 to 2021. He was most known for his time with Team WE, with whom he won an LPL championship. He later joined Afreeca Freecs in Korea to conclude his playing career.
