what does it mean if SK successfully impeached its president and we failed twice

Means the rest of their politicians aren't apparently as self-serving and corrupt as their president. Although technically, we succeeded in impeaching both times, just the senate didn't get the supermajority of votes needed to convict. I get that's what you meant though obviously. They still have yet to remove Yoon either however. Unlike here it sounds like it goes to their court system to decide, where they need six votes out of nine to get rid of him. I think I like their system better than ours, although I can't say I'm at all confident the result here would have been any different either time if it went to our Supreme Court instead of the Senate.
