부정 선거 논란부터 샤넬백 수사·한강뷰 갈등까지 – 2025년 5월 21일 주요 뉴스 브리핑
📰 이재명 “윤 본인이 이긴 선거 시스템이 부정 선거인가…이해 안 돼“
이재명 민주당 후보는 윤석열 전 대통령이 부정선거를 주장하는 다큐 시사회에 참석한 데 대해 “그 선거로 본인이 이겼는데 부정이라니 이해할 수 없다“고 비판했다.
이 후보는 국민의힘이 윤 전 대통령과 거리를 두는 모습에 대해 예견했던 일이라며, 앞으로 더 강하게 선 긋기가 이어질 것이라고 전망했다.
또 국민의힘이 사죄 퍼포먼스를 벌이더라도 국민들은 정치적 판단력이 높아 쉽게 속지 않을 것이라고 지적했다.
박찬대 원내대표가 당내 언행 자제를 당부한 것은 언론의 역결집 프레임에 대응하기 위한 것으로 해석했다.
이 후보는 유튜브 생방송에서도 민원 중심의 인사 정책과 공공갈등 조정 시스템을 대통령실에 도입하겠다고 밝혔다.
📰 Lee Jae-myung: “How can the election system that made Yoon president now be called fraudulent?”
Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung has sharply criticized former President Yoon Suk-yeol’s appearance at the premiere of a documentary promoting election fraud claims. “He won the election through that very system. Calling it fraudulent now just doesn’t make sense,” Lee remarked.
Addressing reporters during a campaign stop in Incheon, Lee predicted that the People Power Party would continue distancing itself from former President Yoon. “Back in February, I said they’d deny him within 100 days. And it’s already happening,” he said, adding, “They’ll soon go further and publicly express remorse. But the Korean people are politically savvy—they won’t be easily deceived.”
In response to Democratic Party floor leader Park Chan-dae urging party members to be cautious with their language, Lee suggested the warning was likely a preemptive move to counteract media-driven narratives aiming to trigger voter backlash.
During a separate live broadcast on YouTube, Lee also outlined key administrative reforms, including a new system for promoting civil servants based on public service performance and establishing a presidential secretary position dedicated to mediating public conflicts and responding to citizen complaints.

📰 검찰, ‘샤넬백‘ 김건희 여사 최측근 비서에 전달 정황 포착
검찰은 통일교가 건진법사를 통해 김건희 여사에게 전달하려 했던 고가 선물 중 일부의 유통 정황을 확인했다.
샤넬백은 김 여사의 최측근 비서 유 씨에게 전달되었고, 그는 웃돈을 얹어 더 비싼 가방으로 두 차례 교환한 것으로 드러났다.
해당 가방은 윤 대통령 취임 시기인 2022년 중순 전달된 것으로, 검찰은 샤넬코리아 압수수색을 통해 일련번호 추적에 나섰다.
김 여사 측은 유 씨가 개인적으로 한 일이며 김 여사는 받은 적 없다고 해명했지만, 이를 둘러싼 의문은 계속되고 있다.
일각에서는 유 씨가 김 여사 모르게 수차례 교환했을 가능성은 낮다는 지적도 제기된다.
📰 Prosecutors Trace Chanel Bag Gifted to First Lady’s Aide
Prosecutors have uncovered new evidence regarding a high-end gift allegedly intended for First Lady Kim Keon-hee, reportedly delivered via a controversial religious figure known as “Geonjin Beopsa.”
A Chanel handbag, part of the gift package from the Unification Church, was found to have been handed over to Yoo, a top aide and close confidante of the First Lady. Yoo reportedly exchanged the bag twice, each time adding extra cash to upgrade to a more expensive version.
The initial handover of the bag is believed to have occurred around mid-2022, coinciding with President Yoon’s inauguration. Investigators have conducted a search and seizure operation at Chanel Korea to track the bag’s serial number and verify transaction records.
The First Lady’s office maintains that Kim had no involvement, asserting that Yoo acted on his own without her knowledge. However, doubts persist, with critics questioning the plausibility that such repeated exchanges were made without the First Lady’s awareness.
Some observers argue it is unlikely that Yoo, known to have worked with Kim since her time at Covana Contents, would handle such a high-profile item independently.

📰 ‘이재명 당선 유력‘ 부담됐나···이창수 중앙지검장·조상원 4차장 동반 사의
📝 김건희 여사 관련 수사를 맡았던 이창수 서울중앙지검장과 조상원 4차장이 동반 사의를 표명하며 다음 달 퇴직을 앞두고 있다.
두 사람은 지난해 국회의 탄핵소추로 직무에서 배제됐다가 헌법재판소 기각으로 복귀했지만, 두 달 만에 자진 사퇴를 결정했다.
이 지검장은 김 여사 도이치모터스 주가조작 및 명품가방 수사에서 무혐의 결론을 내렸고, 재수사 결정 이후 항의성 사퇴설도 나왔다.
이재명 후보의 대선 당선 가능성이 커지며 향후 책임론을 의식한 선제적 사퇴라는 분석도 제기된다.
검찰 내부에선 대선 이후 인사를 앞두고 스스로 물러난 것이라는 평가와 함께, 향후 검찰 수사의 흐름에도 변화가 생길 수 있다는 전망이 나온다.
📰 ‘Burdened by Lee’s Likely Victory?’ Seoul Central Prosecutor and Top Deputy Step Down
Lee Chang-soo, Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, and Cho Sang-won, the office’s Fourth Deputy Chief, have tendered their resignations. Both are set to retire next month, marking a rare simultaneous departure from the leadership of Korea’s most prominent prosecution office.
The two had been temporarily suspended following impeachment motions passed by the National Assembly last year. Although the Constitutional Court dismissed the impeachments, allowing them to return to duty, they decided to resign just two months after reinstatement.
Lee had led the investigations into First Lady Kim Keon-hee’s alleged involvement in the Deutsche Motors stock manipulation case and the luxury Chanel bag controversy—both of which concluded with no charges. Cho was directly involved in overseeing the Deutsche Motors probe. Speculation has arisen that their resignations were a form of protest against the recent decision to reopen the investigation.
With Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung considered the frontrunner in the upcoming presidential election, analysts suggest the resignations may reflect a strategic retreat to avoid future accountability.
Within the prosecution, some interpret the move as a preemptive resignation ahead of a post-election personnel reshuffle—an effort to leave on their own terms before potential political shifts influence their standing.

📰 “웃돈 수억원 붙는 ‘한강뷰‘ 내주라니…” 잠실 집주인들 ‘분통‘
서울시가 잠실주공5단지 재건축 심의에서 한강변 주동에도 임대주택을 배치하라는 요구를 하며 조합과 갈등이 발생했다.
기존 계획안은 임대주택을 비선호 동·층에 집중 배치했지만, 시는 소셜믹스 원칙 위반이라 판단해 안건을 보류했다.
조합은 시의 요구를 수용해 임대 배치 동 수를 줄이고 한강변에도 일부 임대주택을 배치할 계획이다.
일부 조합원들은 한강뷰에 임대주택을 배치하는 것이 수억원의 프리미엄을 무시하는 재산권 침해라고 반발하고 있다.
서울시는 임대주택 차별을 없애기 위한 정책 기조에 따라 조망권 배제를 지양하고 소셜믹스를 적극 추진하고 있다.
📰 “Why Give Up a Multi-Billion Won View?” Lotte Apt. Owners Fume Over City’s Public Housing Plan
A fierce dispute has erupted between Seoul city authorities and homeowners in the Jamsil Jugong Complex 5 redevelopment project, as the city has demanded that rental housing units be placed in apartment buildings with prized views of the Han River.
The initial redevelopment plan placed rental units in less desirable low floors and buildings away from key locations, but Seoul’s urban planning committee halted approval, citing a violation of the “social mix” principle.
In response, the redevelopment association has agreed to adjust its plan by reducing the number of buildings with low-floor rental units and including some public housing units in buildings facing the river.
However, some homeowners have expressed outrage, calling the city’s demand an infringement on their property rights, especially given the premium value of river-view units, which can add billions of won to market prices.
Seoul officials argue the move is part of a broader initiative to eliminate discrimination against public housing residents, emphasizing equal access to scenic views as part of a fairer, more inclusive housing policy.

📰 간호사도 골수채취·피부봉합 한다…’PA 간호사‘ 제도 내달 시행
2025년 6월 21일부터 시행되는 간호법에 따라 PA 간호사가 골수천자, 피부봉합 등 일부 의사 업무를 수행할 수 있게 된다.
PA 간호사는 자격 요건과 임상 경력을 갖춘 전문·전담 간호사로, 의사의 지도 아래 45개 의료행위를 합법적으로 맡게 된다.
의료기관은 의사와 간호사가 포함된 운영위원회를 구성해 이들의 업무 범위를 심의하고 감독한다.
진료지원 인력은 대한간호협회 등 지정된 기관에서 이론과 실습 교육을 이수해야 한다.
이번 제도 도입은 그동안 불안정한 지위에서 일해온 PA 간호사의 법적 기반을 마련하는 데 의미가 있다.
📰 Nurses to Perform Bone Marrow Biopsies and Suturing as PA System Launches Next Month
Starting June 21, 2025, the revised Nursing Act will officially authorize PA (Physician Assistant) nurses in Korea to carry out specific medical procedures traditionally performed by doctors, including bone marrow biopsies and suturing.
These PA nurses—qualified and experienced specialists or dedicated nurses—will be permitted to perform up to 45 designated medical acts under the supervision and delegation of a physician.
Hospitals and medical institutions will be required to establish an oversight committee, including at least one doctor and one nurse, to review and approve the duties of each PA and monitor compliance.
All PA nurses must complete theoretical and practical training provided by authorized organizations such as the Korean Nurses Association or other approved institutions.
The introduction of this system is seen as a crucial step in providing legal recognition and stability for PA nurses, who have long worked in a legal grey area without formal authority to conduct such medical tasks.
