There's a new boy band that's going viral on social media.

They're called Boythrob.

Their vibe is lighthearted, and the boys are often decked out in a set of pink velour tracksuits.

Think NSYNC meets K-pop, but on a smaller budget.

There are four members, Evan Papir, Anthony Key, Zachary Sabania, and Darshan Magdoom.
