The reasons for the decision, which she shared herself, were the long-term treatment ahead and intensive chemotherapy in the early stages.

3-line summary
1. Lee Soo-young is temporarily suspending her radio hosting duties
2. Her son has begun treatment
3. The suspension is a decision to accompany him through treatment
Temporary suspension announced on October 5
Lee Soo-young announced on October 5, through the website of CBS Music FM’s ‘Lee Soo-young’s Let’s Meet at 12,’ that her son had been hospitalized after receiving a diagnosis of acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia following hospital tests. She also said that he had begun treatment and was enduring it.
Accordingly, she said she had decided to take a break from hosting ‘Let’s Meet at 12’ for the time being. The reasons Lee Soo-young explained were that the expected treatment period was long and that intensive chemotherapy, in particular, would continue in the early stages, requiring her to remain by his side. Her explanation was that this was not a matter of adjusting her broadcast schedule, but a choice to make it easier to stay beside her child during the initial stage of treatment.
This decision was not an announcement that her broadcasting activities themselves were ending, but a temporary suspension intended to accompany her child through the treatment process. Therefore, rather than concluding the direction of her activities based solely on the term “departure,” it is necessary to distinguish the reason and scope of the break she herself announced.
A decision made “as a mother of a child”
Lee Soo-young told listeners that she felt sorry and saddened that they would not be able to meet for the time being, but also said that now was the time to stay by her child’s side so that he could get through the difficult treatment process well. In effect, she directly explained her judgment that the time needed by the child receiving treatment and the family came first.
Other reports also introduced Lee Soo-young as saying that her child was undergoing tests and treatment, and that she, too, intended to endure each day together with him. She added that although the child was undergoing treatment that was difficult to bear at such a young age, he was enduring it bravely. Rather than providing detailed information about the treatment situation, this explained to listeners the background behind her decision to suspend hosting.
This announcement did not provide specific details about the progress of the treatment or when she would return to broadcasting. Rather than adding interpretations based on known personal history, it is necessary to focus on the facts Lee Soo-young disclosed herself. The central point of this news is the announcement that her son has begun treatment and that she is temporarily stopping her radio hosting duties to help him from his side.
