Justin Timberlake - Own stardom and the general decline in the popularity of 'N Sync.

Justin Timberlake As a member of 'N Sync, he developed into a major celebrity in his own right in addition to achieving respect as a musician, since Justin Timberlake was the writer or co-writer of all three singles from Celebrity.

The rise of Justin Timberlake's own stardom and the general decline in the popularity of boy bands led to a continuation of 'N Sync's hiatus, although 'N Sync group has never officially disbanded. 'N Sync Band member Lance Bass has stated that he believes the group is finished, and is openly critical of Timberlake's actions in his memoir Out of Sync.

On the other hand, in August 2008 , Chris Kirkpatrick remarked that the 5 remain friends, and he believed a reunion was possible. In September 2008, Bass also made conciliatory comments.
