Actor Park Jung-soo and director Jung Eul-young have released wedding photos, drawing wide attention online as the couple — who have been in a common-law marriage for 25 years — appeared in a wedding dress and tuxedo.

Wedding magazine Wedding H posted the photos on its official social media accounts, sharing the spread with the caption: "A depth of love completed by the accumulation of seasons and countless moments shared together."

In the photos, Jung wears a classic black tuxedo while Park is dressed in a strapless wedding gown with a veil. Park stands beside a beaming Jung with her hands clasped, smiling in a way that captures the easy rapport of a long-time couple.

In another set of shots, Jung pairs a leather jacket over a shirt with sunglasses, while Park styles her wedding dress with a black leather jacket for a more edgy look. The two also appear together in matching casual black outfits, showing off their chemistry as a couple.

Both born in 1952, Park and Jung have been in a common-law marriage since 2001. Jung is also the father of actor Jung Kyung-ho.

Park was previously married to a businessman before the two divorced by mutual agreement in 1997. She has since been with Jung for many years, though they have never formally registered their marriage.

In June, Park appeared on the SBS variety program My Little Old Boy and spoke about her decision. "Marriage is about two families coming together," she said. "I was 50 at the time, and I wasn't confident — I was afraid that if conflicts arose with his family, it would hurt our relationship."

Meanwhile, Park has been connecting with fans through her personal YouTube channel, "You Can't Stop Jeong-su That Easily."
