Singer Lee Soo-young Temporarily Steps Down from Radio Show Due to Child's Leukemia Diagnosis

Singer Lee Soo-young is temporarily stepping down from her radio hosting duties to focus on her child's leukemia treatment.

On October 5, Lee shared the news of her child's illness through the official homepage bulletin board of the CBS Music FM program "Meet You at 12 with Lee Soo-young," announcing her temporary hiatus from the show.

Lee stated, "Before the Chuseok holiday, my child suddenly fell ill, and during hospital examinations, was diagnosed with acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia and hospitalized." She added, "Treatment has begun, and the child is enduring it well."

She explained, "The expected treatment period is long, and with intensive chemotherapy in the early stages, I cannot take my eyes off the child even for a moment. This was a difficult decision I made believing that, as a mother, my place is to stay by my child's side and help them get through this grueling treatment process."

She concluded by saying, "We would deeply appreciate it if you could pray together for our child. I will look forward to the day I can greet you all again in good health."

Lee has hosted "Meet You at 12" since 2017, leading the program for about nine years.
