THEN AND NOW: The members of NSYNC

The five-piece American group originally consisted of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick.

They released four studio albums during their run: "'N Sync" (1997), "Home for Christmas" (1998), "No Strings Attached" (2000), and "Celebrity" (2001).

Their debut album featured two of their biggest hits that solidified their legacy in pop culture: "Bye Bye Bye," which spawned their signature dance move, and "It's Gonna Be Me," which resulted in the popular "It's gonna be May" meme.

"Tearin' Up My Heart" and "I Want You Back" are two of their other notable, infectious pop songs.

At the peak of their popularity, NSYNC was nominated for eight Grammys, won seven MTV Video Music Awards, and received three American Music Awards. They also performed on "Saturday Night Live" in 2000 and participated in the Superbowl halftime show the following year.

They went on an indefinite hiatus in 2002 and two years later, Timberlake announced his exit from NSYNC. Eventually, their hiatus quietly turned into a breakup.

Timberlake's solo career was an immediate success, thanks to early pop and R&B-infused hits such as "Like I Love You," "Cry Me a River," and "Rock Your Body."

The aforementioned tracks were part of his debut solo album, "Justified," released in 2002. That album earned Timberlake his first two Grammy Awards in 2004, for best pop vocal album and best male pop vocal performance ("Cry Me a River").

He returned to the Super Bowl in 2004, which led to a performance with Janet Jackson and an infamous wardrobe malfunction.

Timberlake's sophomore solo album, "FutureSex/LoveSounds" (2006), included even more hits including "My Love," "SexyBack," and "What Goes Around... Comes Around." Scarlett Johansson played his love interest in the music video for "What Goes Around... Comes Around."

Timberlake grew his acting career while simultaneously topping music charts.

He voiced Artie in the third "Shrek" movie, portrayed Napster cofounder Sean Parker in "The Social Network," and starred alongside Mila Kunis in the 2011 rom-com "Friends With Benefits." He also costarred in the R-rated comedy "Bad Teacher" with Cameron Diaz.

He is a four-time Emmy winner for his various work on "SNL."

Timerblake also collaborated with icons like Madona and Rihanna, in addition to continued tracks with Timbaland and T.I.

In 2013, he released "The 20/20 Experience," which included "Mirrors" and "Suit & Tie" featuring Jay-Z. A second part to the album was released later that year.

"Man of the Woods," inspired by his Tennessee roots, was released in 2018.

Timberlake currently voices Branch in the animated "Trolls" movies. The first film was released in 2016 and featured the upbeat song "Can't Stop the Feeling!" performed by Timberlake.

He reprised his role in the TV movie "Trolls Holiday" (2017), "Trolls World Tour" (2020), and another TV movie called "Trolls Holiday in Harmony" (2021).

According to Entertainment Tonight, NSYNC will reunite for a new song as part of the upcoming movie "Trolls Band Together."

Timberlake has been married to actor Jessica Biel since 2012 and the pair have two kids: sons Silas and Phineas.

Details are sparse, but he told People magazine in July that the musicals are both in different stages.

Chasez released his first and only solo album "Schizophrenic," in 2004. In the years that followed, the star landed some acting roles and served as a judge on the MTV reality competition series "America's Best Dance Crew."

All five members of NSYNC reunited to perform at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, where Timberlake was honored with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

In April 2018, they all reunited again to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The band, minus Timberlake, also joined Ariana Grande on stage during her headlining performance at Coachella the following year.

In January, Chasez appeared as a guest on bandmate Lance Bass' podcast, "Frosted Tips."

He and Joey Fatone appeared alongside each other on a season two episode of the "How I Met Your Mother" spin-off series.

Post-NSYNC, Bass appeared in films like "Cursed," "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry," and "Tropic Thunder." He also guest-starred as himself on "BoJack Horseman," "Single Parents," and "The Rookie."

Bass competed on season seven of "Dancing With the Stars" and finished in third place. More recently, he launched a podcast titled "Frosted Tips With Lance Bass" in January.

The star has also been an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights since he came out as gay in 2006, in a cover story for People magazine. He was 27 at the time.

"I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything," Bass told the publication.

Bass married an artist named Michael Turchin in December 2014. The couple has twins, son Alexander James and daughter Violet Betty, whom they welcomed via surrogate in 2021.

The same year that NSYNC began their hiatus, Fatone starred in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." He returned for the 2016 sequel, too. The singer also guest starred on "Kim Possible" and "Hannah Montana."

Fatone has so served as the presenter or host of various shows, including "Impractical Jokers" and "Family Feud." He competed on season four of "Dancing With the Stars," finishing in second place, and appeared as the Rabbit on season one of the show "The Masked Singer."

Fatone made his Broadway debut in 2002, starring as Mark in "Rent." He later played Seymour in "Little Shop of Horrors."

The singer has two daughters named Briahna and Kloey whom he coparents with ex-wife Kelly Baldwin.

After NSYNC disbanded, Kirkpatrick did voice work for the animated Nickelodeon series "The Fairly OddParents." He also had a role in the third "Sharknado" movie, released in 2015.

Kirkpatrick didn't drop any solo albums, but he did release music under an alternative rock band called Nigels11.

He was also a houseguest on season three of "Celebrity Big Brother" in 2022.

Kirkpatrick has been married to Karly Skladany since 2013 and the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Nash Dylan, in October 2017.
