Hurricane Venus is the sixth Korean language studio album (fourteenth overall) by South Korean recording artist BoA, released in South Korea on 5 August 2010 by SM Entertainment. The release marks the tenth anniversary of BoA's career debut, and is her first Korean-language album since the release of Girls on Top in 2005. A repackaged edition of the album, retitled Copy & Paste, was released on 27 September.

In March 2010, SM Entertainment announced that BoA was to release a new Korean-language album—her first since 2005—to commemorate the tenth anniversary of her 2000 debut. BoA was said to be in the process of selecting songs for the album, and would return to South Korea following the completion of her Japanese tour to promote Identity in April.

The music video for "Game" was released to various websites on the weekend of 24–25 July, while the tracks for both "Game" and "Yeop Saram (Stand By)" (Korean: 옆사람; "The Person Next to Me") were released on 28 July. "Game" entered the Gaon weekly singles chart at number eleven.

A music video for the album's title track has been filmed in 3-D by Pace HD—who worked on the 2009 film Avatar—and Samsung Electronics. The song "Hurricane Venus" was released ahead of the album on 2 August.

Hurricane Venus was released in South Korea on 5 August 2010.
