of course they won't admit. supposedly the prostitutes are a paid service with signed nda, so they can be sued. the only two ways for these rumors to be proven true is that the women get their puss tested for semen or if one of them gets preg and does a genetic testing, so SM can really just continue to deny everything til the end

SM is not going to sue because it will increase the media attention and keep everyone talking about it for months. The reason you threaten to sue is to make people stop talking as quickly as possible.

Also, for SM's sake, the rumors better be false given they've said "We have confirmed that these rumors are untrue". It is a violation of fiduciary duty for corporations to make knowingly false statements that impact shareholders.
