Lee Sang-soon remains absent from radio due to health

Overview

Singer Lee Sang-soon has suspended his broadcasting activities due to vagus nerve dysfunction, a neurological condition affecting the autonomic nervous system. The hiatus follows a period of absence from his MBC FM4U radio program, ‘Perfect Day with Lee Sang-soon’, after he appeared unwell during a broadcast on August 26, requiring medical attention at the MBC infirmary.

Lee’s agency, Antenna, and the artist himself confirmed that medical professionals have advised him to prioritize rest and stability following a sudden decline in physical condition. The condition can cause symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, sweating, and fainting due to sudden drops in blood pressure and heart rate.

As of late September, Lee has been unable to host his program for 35 days. To allow him time for detailed medical examinations and recovery, the radio program has transitioned to a rotation of special guest DJs, including Thomas Cook, Seong Jin-hwan, Kwon Jin-ah, and Jung Jae-hyung. In a gesture of gratitude toward Jung Jae-hyung for filling his absence, Lee and his wife, Lee Hyori, sent him a skincare gift valued at approximately 200,000 to 240,000 won.

Lee expressed apologies to listeners for his unannounced absence and stated his intention to return to broadcasting once he has fully recovered his health. His agency continues to monitor his recovery and adjust his future schedules accordingly.
