- Original NSYNC member Jason Galasso has spoken about his decision to leave the boy band before they achieved widespread fame.
- Galasso, who was the fifth member, departed before the group signed a record contract with music mogul Lou Pearlman in 1995.
- He explained that he chose not to sign the deal because it 'didn't feel right' at the time, leading to his replacement by Lance Bass.
- Despite his departure, Galasso's first name contributed the 'n' to the band's iconic name, NSYNC, which was conceived by Justin Timberlake's mother.
- Galasso subsequently pursued a different career path, earning a degree and entering the mortgage business, though he admits to having 'what if' moments about his decision.
