Since the King Kojong`s flight to the Russian legation(Agwanpachon), Kojong has had Russia in mind as a cooperative partner to weaken Japan's political, economic and military influence in Korea. To embody this intention, Kojong started his entourage, Min Young-hwan, to attend Emperor Coronation of Nikolai II in April 1896. In other words, Min Young-hwan was dispatched to request assistance from Russia's military and economic fields. Since Agwanpachon, domestic political forces have had a good opportunity for Korea to seek independence in the face of mutual checks between Russia and Japan. However, international situation changed since the Russian occupation of Lushun in December 1897. Agwanpachon presented the need for balanced diplomacy in the intervention of the Great Powers. After Agwanpachon, Lieutenant General Grodekov(Гродеков И.И) insisted that Russia implement South Korea's protection policy based on its interests. Army Colonel Strellibitzki(СтрельбицкийИ.И.) proposed a way for Russia to rule South Korea and then to keep Korea independent. The Russian military prepared a scenario against Japan's Korean colonization policy. Lieutenant colonel Rendenstrem(Ленденстрем В.В.) captured corruption in Korea and Japan's colonial process after Agwanpachon. Rear admiral Alexeyev(Алексеев Е.И.) recorded peace in Korea, reinforcement of kingship, and financial normalization. The Russian Navy has developed a plan to understand Korea's maritime strategic value and even to Masanpo and Jemulpo.(Seoul Women’s University)
