Yoo Hee Jae, simply known as Hee Jae, is a South Korean singer, former member of the group MASC (마스크) and current member of the duo SEVENUS (세븐어스). He graduated from Kaywon Arts High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Theater and Film from the Seoul Institute of the Arts.

He made his debut in August 2016 as MASC's main rapper and lead vocalist with their first EP, "Strange". However, the group underwent several controversies and lineup changes when 4 new members were added in 2017 for their third single, "Do It" and later 2 of them left the group after allegations of physical violence between them.

After a world tour in 2019, J Planet Entertainment (제이플래닛엔터테인먼트, formerly known as JJ Holic Media and Isam Media) announced the group had gone on hiatus and later officially disbanded in October 2020.

He decided to enlist for his mandatory military service on December 8, 2020, and was discharged on June 7, 2022. Soon after being released, he entered "Peak Time" alongside groupmate Ireah, and both teamed up as Team 7:00, managing to finish in 2nd place.

After the show, he signed a contract with PCS Entertainment (PCS엔터테인먼트) and re-debuted in July 2023 as part of SEVENUS with their first single album, "Summús".
