The possibility of an *NSYNC reunion has set fans abuzz with excitement, thanks to intriguing hints dropped in connection with the upcoming movie, “Trolls Band Together.” The legendary boy band *NSYNC, which boasts a massive fan following, is known for hits like “Bye Bye Bye” and “It’s Gonna Be Me.”
The buzz began when posters promoting “Trolls Band Together” started appearing in New York City. These posters featured the first letter of the *NSYNC logo and a QR code, which led fans to a mysterious website. Upon pressing “play” on the site, a whistling tune filled the air.

The connection between *NSYNC and the movie lies in the fact that Justin Timberlake, one of the lead voices in *NSYNC, also stars in the Trolls franchise as Branch. He contributed the chart-topping hit “Can’t Stop the Feeling” to the first Trolls movie in 2016.
However, it’s the cryptic references that have fans speculating about an *NSYNC reunion. The movie’s trailer playfully includes lines like, “We’re out of sync. We’ve gone from boys to men, and now there’s only one direction for us to go: the backstreets.”
If this speculation holds true, it would mark *NSYNC’s first musical release since 2002. After Justin Timberlake embarked on his successful solo career, the group went on hiatus. They briefly reunited for a show-stopping performance at the VMAs in 2013 and again in 2016 when they received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In March of this year, *NSYNC members reminisced about their journey and the unique chemistry that made the group so iconic. Chris Kirkpatrick, now 51, noted how each member brought distinct characteristics to the group, from vocal ranges to fashion sense.
Joey Fatone, one of the members, emphasized how they helped each other grow as individuals. He said, “Everybody helped out each other with that personality. Meaning, sometimes JC was very quiet about stuff. My dumb, goofy ass is outgoing. That helped him to come out of his shell a little bit more.”
As the excitement builds, fans eagerly await any official confirmation of an *NSYNC reunion. In the meantime, “Trolls Band Together” is set to hit theaters on November 17, promising a delightful cinematic experience.
