who knew
Imagine my astonishment
Who knew is a rhetorical expression of surprise at unexpected information, suggesting that something wasn't predictable or widely understood: Who knew that quiet kid would become a rock star?
It can be genuine wonder or mildly sarcastic—implying the speaker should have known, or that the revelation isn't actually surprising: Who knew eating vegetables was healthy?
