Singer Lee Soo-young Temporarily Steps Down from Radio Show After Child Diagnosed with Leukemia

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

Through the official website bulletin board of CBS Music FM's "Meet You at 12," Lee announced the news of her child's illness today (October 5) and stated that she would be temporarily halting her hosting activities.

Lee shared, "Before the Chuseok holiday, my child suddenly fell ill, and while undergoing hospital tests, was diagnosed with 'acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia' and hospitalized," adding, "Treatment has begun, and my child is enduring it well."

She continued, "The expected treatment period is long, and the early stages involve intensive chemotherapy, making it a situation where I cannot take my eyes off my child even for a moment," explaining, "This was a difficult decision made with the belief that, as a mother, I must be by my child's side to help them get through this grueling treatment process."

Finally, she added, "We would be deeply grateful if you could keep my child in your prayers," and said, "I 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.
