The major Japanese invasions started in 1592, however, Japanese pirate activities existed way before then. The Japanese pirate activities contributed to the Imjin War.
The Japanese were also considered a tributary country toward China, however, the Japanese contact with the Chinese lapsed over many decades, which infuriated the Chinese courts. However, Japan saw itself as an equal to China and wanted nothing more than to invade all of china and beyond. The Japanese believed that they could take the whole of the Indian sub-continent as well. The start to a continental invasion was at Japan’s nearest crossing point, which was Korea.
In modern times, the idea of imperialism never diminished in Japan. Korea was fought over by China, Japan, Russia, Britain, the US, with Japan annexing Korea in 1910 with the idea of a false Pan-Asianism. The equality of a united Japan & Korea was never realized or intended.

Japan didn’t always invade Korea historically. Sure, some minor Japanese attacks were in history, but there were two major invasions of the Japanese: in 1592 and the one at 1910(IDK if this one counts, since it was a political kind of invasion). The reason why the Japanese invaded Korea? Because Korea was right next to Japan and was the gateway to China. It’s actually that simple. If Japan had to invade a country, why not invade Korea? It’s right next to Japan after all and is not really strong compared to China.
