I've seen random US hot dog brands in the freezer section of my local HomePlus and Lotte Mart.  They aren't always there, but they usually are.  Costco might be a good option or a store in your area that caters to foreigners.

They're available frozen at my local Homeplus regularly, and I've always seen them at Costco when I used to go there.
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me.

It's terrible, at the bus stop going home from the school I work out, there's a place called "omma's Hot Dogs" that literally is right in front of the bus stop sign. To make it worse, the owner is smart, and puts the rotisserie stand right in the window with a perfectly made model hot dog right in the window with relish, onions, the whole works. So everyday when I wait for the bus home, I have to stand next to that damn window, where they're advertised for 1,000 won.

Which brands did you see?

I've seen one at the Daegu Costco that was called something like "Corn King".  I've never seen any Ball Park hot dogs though.

Yea, there were Corn Kings.  I think I've seen one other brand, but can't remember.

Corn King were decent, run-of-the-mill American hotdogs.  I enjoyed a few grilled ones with the fixings.

I have seen "Dodger Dogs" which places like ezshop Korea and Costco may have had at one point in time. If you are looking for places that make them for you, costco cafeteria and certain chains like "New York Hot Dogs" and "Steff Hot dogs"  will give you something at least close. I usually just buy the sausages from emart along with the buns.
