I was able to buy cinnamon and curry powder at the regular little grocery store down the street from my apartment (in Busan). Maybe you can find some of what you're looking for if you try a few different grocery stores in the area.

all else fails, take a road trip to Seoul and stock up. The international market near Whatthebook has all of that

For what it is worth, I had some of the best curry in my life in Malaysia!

There seems to be international markets sprouting up all over Seoul where you find congregations of people who might be interested in such products.

There are a whole bunch of them in the Itaewon area. You do not have to look to hard. I have also seen them near Yeondeungpo Station and near Teukkseom station.

There must be one in Gwnagju but if there isn't your wife now has quite a good idea for a business.
