If opening the bleed valve didn't decrease the drag, then you're almost 
certainly looking at mechanical binding rather than a
hydraulic problem.  I've no idea what Hyundai rear calipers look like; but 
could it be the parking brake or its linkage/cable?

That's not to say the hoses couldn't need replacement as well.
