No, in most cases we don't have to abide by the law tof the United Kingdom.
There are hundreds of countries in the world, each with their own
different laws, some seemingly quite draconian when it comes to what
content is allowed. Imagine, in North Korea the things we say about
Kim Jong-il are probably illegal, but we don't have to follow their
law because our website is based in... Florida.

I'm not sure what you mean by no business in South
Korea.
The foundation is in Florida, so you don't need to abide by the law of
United Kingdom?
But I'm an contributing editor of Wikipedia residing in South Korea
and some of ko.wp editors are preparing to establish South Korea
chapter to promote Free Culture Movement. South Korean editors have to
abide by the regulations of Korean government.
I want to know if we have visitors more than 100,000 from South Korea or not?

Assuming it isn't an April Fool's joke,
the fact remains that the Wikimedia
Foundation is not bound to abide by the laws of South Korea. Google had
business there, presumably, while the Foundation does not.
