*NSYNC are keeping things spicy as their buzzy reunion marches on, teasing their upcoming appearance Thursday on the YouTube series Hot Ones.
In a new clip, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone show the aftermath of eating unbearably hot chicken wings, resulting in them taking various antacids to keep the heat at bay. Timberlake gives the camera a deadpan expression while preparing to chug Pepto Bismol, while Bass and Chasez take turns sharing Tums tablets.
The spiciness of the wings brings Kirkpatrick to tears, which he dabs away with a red napkin. Fatone, perhaps the least fazed, quickly downs a tall glass of water. “Preheating,” Timberlake captioned the video, shared to his personal Instagram. (The “SexyBack” singer appeared on Hot Ones solo back in 2020.)
Bass kept it real in the comments section, writing: “Tearin’ Up My Heartburn 2024 tour: sponsored by Pepto, Tums and Milk.”
*NSYNC fans have a lot to be excited about in the coming weeks. After the group’s appearance at the 2023 MTV VMAs — which took place last week on Sept. 12 and saw the quintet present Taylor Swift the best pop award — rumors of a tour or new music together started to swirl. The music part is true: The boy band will drop the Trolls Band Together song “Better Place,” their first single since 2002, on Sept. 29. The single was announced in a new trailer for the movie that arrived the day after the VMAs. Timberlake voices Branch in the animated movie series.
*NSYNC’s Hot Ones episode will premiere on on Thursday (Sept. 21) at 11 a.m. ET. See the teaser video below.
