You are actually right. It is impossible to distinguish syllables
without knowing following letters.
So korean input method uses very difficult routine to input korean
2-beo-sik.
I think table method cannot solve this problem.

So I suggest 2 solutions on this problem.
1. user type <space> to divide syllables.
To input '가나다', type 'ga na da'
In this method, user have to divide syllables manually for him/herself.

2. user type upper letters to input trailing consonant.
To input '안녕', type 'aNnyeoNG'
This method use upper letters too much :(

I want some feedback from non native korean.
I will expect your help :)
