On the summer of that very same year, Lang set out another spark of creativity with her performance project aptly entitled “Uninvited Dreams and Conflicts; Taboo Yogini Series” when she literally crashed the Venice Biennale and New York’s Time Square, uninvited.
It was an all year media affair for Nancy Lang in 2005. The colorful Artist was firmly positioned as a driven, passionate and in-control feministic icon of our era through her appearance in Cable TV; On style Network’s “Singles in Seoul; Contra sexual.” In TV KBS1’s “Power Interview”, she established herself the spokesperson for the Pop Arts scene of Korea.
Lang’s work finally gained the international recognition it deserved when "Louis Vuitton" hired a young Korean artist for the first time to co-produce their 2005 video project. Also in 2005, a joint publication between Nancy Lang and the Taboo Yogini Media Group, the first issue of “Magazine Nancy Lang” was published.
The summer of 2005, Lang was talent spotted by the happening Korean fashion brand, "Ssamzie" and signed a one-year modeling contract. She is the first local artist to successfully launch the "Nancy Lang" brand.

On that same year, "KT" conceptualized an entire campaign after Lang, providing her with yet another modeling opportunity for the “Megapass” TV commercials.
Nancy Lang was everywhere in 2006. A rare opportunity to speak her mind as a columnist was offered to her as she landed her own weekly column on "Ilgan Sports" Newspaper, where she had an entire page to fill to the brim with stories of celebrity fashion.
"M-net"(Korean MTV channel) created a daily program called “The Nancy Lang Trend Report Pill”, hosted by non other than Artist Nancy Lang herself, guaranteed to make and keep the program extraordinary.
