I followed the answers given in various related questions but none of them solve the problem of adding spaces in xeCJK package.

usepackage[CJKspace,space,CJKspace=true]{xeCJK}

usepackage{xunicode}

setCJKmainfont{Batang}

renewcommandCJKglue{}

makeatletter

letxeCJK@ignorespacesrelax

makeatother

None of the Chinese, Japanese, or Korean add any spaces.

the output is as follows:

Here are what I think are some relevant lines from cjk.log:

I am using Fedora 27 texlive-2016 and other stock packages that come with the repo. What am I missing?

I finally found an alternate solution: use kotex package instead of xeCJK. It works perfectly for all Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. How do I get Korean (Hangul) characters to typeset in LaTeX ?

It also works perfectly in lyx.

Here is an example how to do all CJK with spacing. I changed the last character of Chinese to show that it works with Chinese too. That character doesn't seem to exist in Korean hanja, so I just set its font to Chinese, and now it shows.
