On my 2011 i30, I found the actuator inside the brake drum on one side had seized solid, so the brake shoe wasn't pulling away from the drum. This was causing it to wear prematurely, requiring it to be re-tightened all the time. Have since replaced shoes, pads, discs, caliper slider pins, and freed up the seized actuator. Handbrake works like new now. The actuator is the linkage that pushes the top end of the handbrake shoes apart when you apply the handbrake.
