Jaegaseung (Korean: 재가승 , Japanese: 在家僧 , meaning monks who live in houses) were descendants of Jurchen people who lived in North-Eastern Ko
While I've not found much more about them yet (as much as I'd like to), inside are some bits & key differences I've so far found regarding them in relation to the Korean majority & the Jurchen origins in general. May well be a continuous presence through much of the history, but I do hope the diasporas abroad can rediscover themselves even whilst living among the surrounding dongpo (maybe alongside the Jejuan people) either way.

the Joseon Dynasty hasn't really treated them too well at all
still not the least bit good in North Korea especially for the living among them
