I tried both soap and alcohol, and neither seem to work. (Also one of my friends told me that alcohol can corrupt UV-coating on laser-etched keycaps. Is this true?)

Technically, yes, by using something to scrub it out. Maybe a stiff brush or a pin? Fluid contact is extremely poor in small environments like etch butters so don't bother with any of them.
If you can tell me what a UV coating is and what it's made of, I might be able to answer the latter question, too :) .

I am not sure what it exactly is. It seems to be some coating that helps prevent wear on keycaps. Actually I am not sure if my keycaps have UV coating.

Only thing I can think of is some layer designed to prevent yellowing by filtering out UV radiation. What material it's supposed to be, I don't know though (pretty sure it's not suncream). IPA and EtOH can be somewhat cruel to coatings though, so it's probably best to avoid them if you have a coating of this kind.
