In the first sentence, “to” is referring to if someone has traveled there. In the second sentence, “in” is referring to how long someone has been in a place. Going to a place is more of an action, while being in a place is more passive.
“Have you ever been to South Korea?” means that the speaker is asking someone if they have traveled there. It basically means “Have you ever traveled to South Korea?”
“How long have you been in Brazil?” means that the speaker is asking someone how long they have been somewhere. It basically means “How long have you been staying in Brazil?”

Фразы "Have you ever been TO South Korea?" и "How long have they been IN Brazil?" используются для обозначения местоположения или посещения определенной страны, но имеют нюансы в использовании предлогов "to" и "in".
"Have you ever been TO South Korea?" используется, когда речь идет о посещении или путешествии в определенную страну. В данном случае, предлог "to" указывает на направление движения или место, куда кто-то побывал или собирается посетить. Например: "I have been to South Korea once. Я был в Южной Корее один раз."
"How long have they been IN Brazil?" используется, чтобы узнать, сколько времени кто-то уже находится в определенной стране. В данном случае, предлог "in" указывает на местоположение или пребывание внутри определенной территории. Например: "They have been in Brazil for two weeks. Они находятся в Бразилии уже две недели."
Таким образом, разница между этими фразами заключается в том, что "to" используется для указания направления движения или посещения страны, а "in" - для указания местоположения или пребывания в стране.

"I went to South Korea"
