They are pretty local I think 

And in US as of now, they are still growing in popularity

I would say C going into B 

They are not popular in South Korea

They are more successful in other Asian countries

They really D list

Somewhere between B and C. They don't release often and that either makes it worse or makes it better as in their comebacks are eventful.

As someone said, B- is appropriate.

fam, they have appearances on GMA and late night shows. that is the work of interscope.  People know them. They have sold out arena shows, those won't be possible with the work of stans alone 

More over, their fanbase is very dedicated. They actually bought space on Times Square, New York billboards to just say Happy Birthday to each members. Not just one or two, but 11 of them, like shown below for Lisa and BP anniversary . Which is cute, also give them a promo in a way too, since Times Square is popular street in NYC. Not even LM have ever do that

 

I feel like buying an album is enough and tweeting happy birthday. Buying space in Time Square is pretty stupid  Definitely agree with the fact that only stans know and support them. The gp in Korea and other Asian countries might be more supportive but I feel like elsewhere they’re pretty unknown. Also where is the source stating that the fans paid for these TS spaces?? And also also did you mean 11 billboards or 11 members??

they are still popular in most Asia countries and also considered one of the most successful K-POP group, just not in their own country.
that's why they don't even have their own album because they are not popular enough in South Korea.
But on the other hand they are very popular in other countries(China, Thailand....etc) you can see them doing promo and  everywhere
so maybe A list in Asia, B list in Korea, C to B in other countries

No one really knows about them in europe

it is not stupid, it is grand. K-Pop stanning is whole different level. The grander the better. The mentality is if you really care about your faves then show it, and not just talk about it. Buy the albums, attend their shows, stream their youtube video, especially in  first 24hr of its release, and do little things like these billboard things. 

Many popular K-Pop acts even have their own super obsessive fans that will follow them around the world to take pictures of them. Complete with serious photography gadgets. They don't need the press just to have pictures archives. And it is encouraged by the artists labels, too. Also, here is your receipts:

And so did artists like Halsey during her first album era Badlands. she sold out the Madison Square Garden; doesn't change the fact that she was pretty much unknown and had not really any mainstream hits during this era.

All of what you just said just sounds like unhealthy obsession.To think that if you love someone’s art you should spend your last cent of them and spending your time replaying their videos and following them around is not normal and definitely not a “mentality” anyone should have or be praised. I don’t even do that for Gaga who is my favorite artist because buying the album and seeing her live now and then is enough support in my opinion. I also need to live my life and not spend all my money to make someone else rich and more famous. So grand? Maybe. Stupid? Definitely.
