Hurricane Venus
Hurricane Venus is the sixth Korean language studio album (fourteenth overall) by South Korean singer BoA, released on August 2, 2010, by SM Entertainment, to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the singer's career. It is BoA's first major Korean-language release since the repackage version of Girls on Top in 2005, and subsequently her second major release in a year following her seventh Japanese album Identity in February 2010.
A dominant electro-pop and R&B record, the album was executively produced by her label's founder Lee Soo-man, while seeing BoA co-writing and composing along with several songwriters and production teams, namely Hitchhiker, Kenzie, Yoo Young-jin, Erik Lidbom, Anne Judith Wik, Martin Hansen, Kim Jong-wan, Kim Dong-ryul, Lindy Robbins, Toby Gad, and more. Under the repackage title Copy & Paste, the album was re-released on September 27, 2010, nearly two months after its original release.
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 July 24–25, while the tracks for both "Game" and "Yeop Saram (Stand By)" (Korean: 옆사람; "The Person Next to Me") were released on July 28. "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 August 2. Hurricane Venus was released in South Korea on August 5, 2010.
Following its release the album was ranked number one on the Hanteo album sales chart, and in the top five of other music charts such as Naver and Soribada. The album is also due to be released in other Asian countries, including Thailand, the Philippines (not yet released as of this time in the country), China, Indonesia and Japan.
On August 6, BoA performed "Hurricane Venus" and "Dangerous" on the Korean television programme Music Bank. On the same day, Hurricane Venus was the third most talked about topic on the social networking site Twitter. The album sold 44,745 units in the first ten days of its release and ranked first in the month of August sales with 54,659 units.[citation needed] By the end of the year Hurricane Venus sold 55,776 units making it the 22nd best selling album in South Korea for 2010.
"Romance", described as a "pop jazz ballad", was arranged by jazz pianist Song Young-joo. "Don't Know What to Say" is a collaboration with BoA's brother Kwon Soon-hwon, a classical pianist. For two of the album's highly promoted tracks, "Dangerous" and "Adrenaline", BoA again teamed up with Danish producer Thomas Troelsen, who also produced her American debut single, "Eat You Up", in 2008.
