SEVENUS (Korean: 세븐어스; Japanese: セウェヌス), formerly known as MASC (마스크; short for "masculine"), is a male duo under PCS Entertainment. Formed by JJ Holic Media and Lotus E&M as a four-member group, they debuted on August 19, 2016, with the mini album "Strange".
On July 30, JJ Holic announced the departures of ACE and Chibin after it was revealed earlier that an incident occurred back in March in which ACE violently assaulted Chibin. ACE was removed from the group while Chibin, citing difficulties in continuing as a member due to recovering from the incident, would leave and pursue a career in acting.
During the ongoing news, 26 also announced his departure from MASC as he decided to pursue a new career as a director.
On October 22, their agency announced the group would come back as four, confirming the departure of Doeun as well.
On May 2, 2023, it was announced that after becoming runner-ups on Peak Time, the remaining MASC members Ireah and Heejae would be joining PCS Entertainment as MASC.
On May 8, 2023, PCS Entertainment announced that MASC would be changing its name to Sevenus. Seven Us is a combination of Heejae and Ire's precious number "7" and "us," which means to be with fans, playing as a team at 7 o'clock in "peak time." It is also the team name that was finalized after receiving votes from fans through Heejae's personal SNS. Hee-jae and Ire first announced their new name, Seven Us, in front of their fans through their "peak time" TOP6 concert over the weekend.
