Not unless it's for health reasons. Only in the US is it done for cosmetic reasons, in the rest of the world it's either for religious (Judaism, Islam) or for health reasons.

There is a larger representation of South Koreans that are circumcised for reasons other then medical necessity. this is the result of US influence in that country since the Korean War.
