This study reinterprets the ‘ttalbabo’ narrative in Korean society as a relational formation of paternal love and care that becomes visible through material and technological conditions, rather than as a purely personal expression of paternal affection. Focusing on deluxe strollers, pink ribbons, and social media platforms, this study examines how objects and technologies participate in the formation and visibility of paternal care, gendered bodily images, and parent-child relationships. Drawing upon Jane Bennett’s concept of ‘thing-power’, Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network Theory (ANT), Karen Barad’s ‘agential realism’, and Sara Ahmed’s theory of ‘orientation’, this study examines how material objects, bodies, spaces, and media become entangled in the formation of paternal practices. Strollers connect paternal care with mobility, safety, technical skills, and management in public space. Pink ribbons connect children’s bodies with gendered meanings while making parental tastes and desires materially visible. Social media platforms and sharenting practices extend these relations into digital environments by recording, sharing, and circulating images of children and paternal care. The study argues that paternal love and care cannot be understood independently of the material, technological, and cultural conditions in which they are expressed. Objects do not determine human actions or identities on their own; rather, they participate in shaping particular forms of care, gendered representation, and family imagery. This perspective expands the analysis of the ‘ttalbabo’ narrative beyond human-centered family discourse and illuminates the material conditions through which paternal love becomes visible and socially recognizable.
