As a legal processes, the definition and order or procedures vary wildly between different countries.
Some countries for example charge you with a crime, but don't actually arrest you until they're bringing it to trial. Some countries don't have a prosecution, or a defence but a system where multiple government officials advocate for the truth.
You can set up a legal system anyway you want, and define the terms however you like---it'll be legal and valid in your country.

Those have no bearing at all on what was said - it would still be the case that impeachment was the bringing of charges, and would not depend upon conviction and removal from office. It is also possible that Korea may have explicitly defined this particular English word differently than the rest of the world. If that's the case, it seems worth calling out explicitly.
