Johnsonville is the one brand of imported American sausages that is regularly available in mainstream Korean markets, though I’ve only encountered variations on their full cooked sausage links, including Smoked, Garlic, and Beddar Cheddar, as well as Polish, which is packaged in Korea by local partner Peacock (see for example 15.022 Polish Sausage Dogs).

Accustomed these days to pan-searing the sausages to intensify the flavors – necessary for locally produced sausages, which tend to be bland (see generally 14.247 Bistrodogs in Minibuns with Sauerkraut & Mustard) – the Johnsonville sausage is salty as is, so pan-searing made them too salty – but better than blandness.
