Warm water seaports. Russia wanted ice-free seaports for it's growing navy, that particular region of Asia had those ports. Japan didn't want Russia so close to Japan, and they considered Korea to be a "dagger" pointed at Japan (if Russia controlled it). Korea was in the areas considered to be ice free.
