Previously, the same premise was rented to another gay spa.

On 19 November 2012, a 48 year-old businessman, Yeo Hung Song, was found naked and hanged in one of the rooms at One Seven.
The police investigating officer Siaw Kah Swee who was assigned the case mentioned, "Club One Seven is a two-storey sleazy gay pub meant only for registered patrons". Siaw discovered that its lower level had a spa and a cafe while the upper level had common shower facilities and a myriad of small rooms. Many of the rooms had all-around mirrors, a single mattress, a toilet paper dispenser and a holder for lubricant and condoms. Several had themed furnishings, with erotic apparel for BDSM (bondage, discipline and sadomasochism) practices.
Closed-circuit television footage from a neighbouring law firm showed the deceaseo arriving at the club alone on a motorcycle at around 2.30pm on Monday, 19 November 2012. He then used the facilities before entering Room 5, which featured a saddle bench with wooden legs and a 2m-tall metal frame that had metal chains dangling from each corner.
At 9:30pm, cleaner Asrin Ali, 45, knocked on the door of the locked cubicle but got no response.
They then saw Yeo's naked body, with knees bent, hanging from a metal chain around his neck. The chain was part of a group of four attached to the top corners of a rectangular metal frame. A bottle of a yellow liquid labelled Rush Ultra Strong, a sex-enhancing liquid incense, sat on top of a short saddle-bench. Tests by the Health Sciences Authority showed that it was meant to be inhaled for its aphrodisiac and euphoric qualities, although Yeo had not used it.
There were no signs of a struggle or any other visible injury on him. A locker key belonging to Yeo was strapped to his right upper arm and his clothes were kept in the locker. A soiled towel which was later found to be stained with his semen lay on the floor. The staff then called the police.
State Coroner Imran Abdul Hamid testified that Yeo could have been practising auto-erotic asphyxiation, which involved starving the brain of oxygen to increase sexual arousal. An autopsy revealed that a small amount of substance, usually used to treat insomnia, was found in his blood, but it did not have any bearing on Yeo's death. The coroner added that suicide was also a possibility as the 48 year-old restaurant boss, who was not married, suffered from depression and was believed to have harboured suicidal tendencies. Yeo had told a friend two weeks before his death that he wanted to commit suicide but did not pen any suicide note.
