As singer Lee Soo-young temporarily suspends her radio activities due to her son’s leukemia diagnosis, her past remarks are also being revisited.

On the 5th, Lee shared a notice on the homepage of CBS Music FM’s “Lee Soo-young’s Let’s Meet at 12,” stating, “I imagine many of you were puzzled by my silence after Chuseok [Korean Thanksgiving].” She continued, “The reason is that before the Chuseok holiday, our child suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia during hospital examinations, leading to his hospitalization. He has since begun treatment and is enduring it well.”

Lee stated, “Although he is undergoing difficult examinations and treatments at a young age, my child is remarkably resilient and doing admirably well, which even surprises me as his mother. Watching him from the sidelines, I am also steadying myself and striving to endure each day together with him.”

She added, “However, given that the expected treatment period is very long, particularly involving intensive chemotherapy in the early stages, I cannot take my eyes off my child for even a moment. Therefore, we have decided to temporarily pause my hosting of ‘Let’s Meet at 12.’”

Lee conveyed, “While I feel regretful and apologetic that I will not be able to meet you all for the time being, I believe this is a difficult decision made out of the conviction that now, more than anything else, as a mother, I must stand by my child’s side to help him overcome the arduous treatment process. I earnestly ask everyone to understand with a generous heart.”

Meanwhile, Lee married in 2010 and welcomed her son the following year. Her son, born in 2011, is 16 years old this year.

Along with this, Lee’s unfortunate family history is also being revisited.

Lee previously appeared on a YouTube channel and disclosed that she had experienced domestic violence from her stepfather.

At the time, Lee said, “My stepfather would write English on flashcards to make me study and teach me grammar. As I was the eldest child and did well in my studies, I endured it. However, my youngest brother was too young to keep up.” She continued, “The next day, when I came home from school, my stepfather was stepping on my younger brother with his foot. At that time, I was only a first-year high school student and had no strength to stop him. In this manner, numerous incidents occurred daily to an extent that is hard to describe, making it very difficult.”

Additionally, Lee stated, “I suffered severe fraud at the age of 30. I lost all the money I earned in my 20s during my 30s and even incurred debt.” She revealed her experience as a fraud victim by adding, “After being defrauded, I have been visiting hospitals regularly.”
