Follow up ... I was under the Tib today and the parking brake cable runs straight to the calipers. This was confirmed by Webtech, i.e. while the Sonata has drum shoes insides the crown of the rear rotors, the Tib has no such configuration. Neither did the 2002 Elantra GT I had.
So, there are both types.
