I suddenly have this kanpan craving after several years of withdrawal.
I obviously don't know about Korea but I wouldn't call kanpan a popular snack in Japan. Not many Japanese eat it as a snack anymore. It's more like emergency food that people like to keep at home along with bottled water and such for possible quakes and typhoons. This is why kanpan mostly comes in metal cans than in plastic bags in Japan.
