Speaking to Ten Daily's Sandra Sully, Chin said there were several "small to medium-sized reasons" for her resignation, but would not elaborate.
"There's not one big reason, there's many small to medium-sized reasons, which for the time being I wish to keep to myself but may talk about one day," she said
"One reason I shall reveal however is that working two days a week didn't give me enough time to devote to the pub and re-reading the complete works of Shakespeare. So now that I work zero days that issue has been addressed."
The prominent and stylish newsreader will deliver her last bulletin for SBS World News on Sunday.
Chin was born to Chinese parents in Jakarta, Indonesia, and grew up in Singapore before migrating to Australia.
SBS released a statement calling her "one of Australia's most recognisable and respected newsreaders".
"Having spent the bulk of my professional life at SBS, this isn't by any means an easy decision. I shall be leaving a happy and satisfying role as a newsreader. My friends and colleagues for whom I have fervent respect will be deeply missed," Chin said.
Chin started working for SBS as a translator for Chinese-language films in 1980, and later joined SBS World News delivering weekend bulletins.
More recently, Chin was involved in comedy sketches with SBS VICELAND's The Feed.
SBS managing director Michael Ebeid said Chin was "truly one of a kind", adding that the broadcaster would "miss her colourful personality gracing our screens on the weekend".
"Lee Lin embodies everything that SBS stands for and will always be art of the SBS family. We respect her decision to embrace new projects and wish her all the very best for the future," he said.
She was nominated for the Gold Logie in 2016.
