The result has
- too wide space between Korean char(including Chinese char) and fullstop.
- too wide space between Korean char(including Chinese char) and comma.
- too wide space between Korean char(including Chinese char) and
opening parenthesis.
- too wide space between closing parenthesis and Korean char(including
Chinese char).
- too wide space between opening parenthesis and Korean char(including
Chinese char)
- too wide space between Korean char(including Chinese char) and
closing parenthesis.

Korean typesetting is somewhat different from Chinese or Japanese typesetting.
It has inter-word spaces (ie. glue). So inter-word spaces, fullstops, commas,
and parentheses should be treated as the same as in Latin typesetting,
except allowing line break
     1. between Korean char and opening parentheses
     2. between closing parenthesis and Korean char.
In these cases, glue with big plus or minus stretch is not desirable.
