If you are over the age of 25, then I am sure you are well aware of NSYNC's reunion at the VMAs last night.

They also rode an elevator together.

And that's about it. Like, they really didn't do anything.

But I'm here to talk about something else, and that something else is JC Chasez's *real* name.

JC posted this picture of the guys' credentials on X:

There are some weird things going on here...

First off, it says three of the guys are from "NSYNC."

Secondly, it says that Justin Timberlake is from "Justin Timberlake."

And lastly, it says JC is from "artist."

But people are noticing something else...

Yup, JC's real name is "Joshua."

After 25 years, some millennials are just learning this.

Which, like, duh. JC definitely sounds like more of a nickname.

Anyway, do what you want with this info, and I'd also like to speak with whoever made these credentials. What were you thinking?
