Ahn Jae Hyun will not be appearing on tvN's 'Journey to the West7'. There has been a heated speculation on Ahn's appearance in the show due to his recent controversy with his wife, Goo Hye Sun. 

A source from the show said on September 16th, "Ahn Jae Hyun who has been a fixed member of the show decided to leave tvN's 'Journey to the west'."

Ahn's decision to turn down appearing in the show was due to his recent issue of the divorce battle, a source said. It was said that he did not want to cause trouble to his fellow cast members and to the program. "At the same time, he also seemed uncomfortable about the fact that he would have to bring laughter to the public through the variety show," added the source. 

Ahn's close side admitted the news of his refusal saying, "That is how we also understood." "We have also heard that Ahn will not be appearing in the new season of the show." "We know that he has informed the production team and confirmed that he will not be joining." 

Ahn Jae Hyun first appeared in Journey to the West 2 in April, 2016 and continued to star in every season until Journey to the West 6 as the fifth fixed member of the show. He is preparing to go into a legal battle with Goo Hye Sun for divorce.
