Invitation is the fourth studio album by South Korean singer Uhm Jung-hwa. It was released on July 1, 1998, through PolyGram. Primarily a dance record,^[1] the album features contributions from writers and producers Joo Young-hoon, Jae Chong of Solid, and Park Jin-young. Invitation continued to establish Uhm's image as a fashion icon.

The album produced a string of hit singles: "Poison", "Invitation" (초대; Chodae) and "Finding Hidden Image" (숨은 그림 찾기; Sumeun geurim chatgi). The former two became signature songs for Uhm; in early-2015, they reappeared on the Gaon Digital Chart at number one and number nineteen, respectively. Invitation was a commercially successful release, becoming the first number one album on South Korea's new monthly charts, recording 180,000 copies in August 1998. It eventually moved more than 450,000 copies. The album was supported by Uhm's debut live concert, titled Temptation of a Thousand Years, in November 1998.
