The intent was for even if FF lost the suit, they would drag it out until JHJ give up or Attrakt go bankrupt and settle for pennies on the dollar because Attrakt without FF had no source of income. This exact thing happened for the singer The Givers also influenced before FF. She sued and dragged the company through mud in the media but then ultimately lost her case to the agency. But the agency being small and having no funds basically gave up and let her out of her contract for less than 1/10 of what she ultimately should have paid for termination, she is still with Givers today though her career is probably also done.
Media being in favor of Attrakt wasn’t as important to them because if JHJ settles or Attrakt is gone during the suit, they achieve no or much lower termination fee anyway. And then they will just start activities outside of SK with Warner's money and influence. What they didn’t anticipate was for Attrakt to get a big investment infusion from the Singapore fund and then start another girl group. With funds and possible another income source next year their plan to starve out Attrakt basically became much less of a possibility.
Now, the girls and their family in panic publicly because they see no way out anymore with no support from Warner and The Givers. They also didn't have GP support like most other artists with lawsuit case against their company. Siahn didn't care about them at all and just trying to find way out for himself only now.
