Sevenus (Korean: 세븐어스; RR: Sebeuneoseu; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean male duo consists of Heejae and Ireah under PCS Entertainment.

On the survival competition show Peak Time, Heejae and Ireah participated as two members under their former group name Masc (Korean: 마스크; stylized in all caps).[1] After finishing in second place, it was announced on May 3, 2023 that they had signed an exclusive contract with PCS Entertainment and would embark on their new start and reform the group as a duo. On May 9, 2023, the duo announced they would change their name to Sevenus. The "seven" holds meaning to them because they were Team 7:00 while on the show, and being with the fans is referred to in the word "us".[2]
