It is not absolutely necessary, but because the surface of the flywheel which mates with clutch friction disk is "Glazed" it needs to be resurfaced. This involves removing the flywheel and having a machine shop grind a few thousands of an inch off of the surface. This procedure can only be done once or twice on most flywheels before they become too thin for usable service.
Of course, other factors can also influence the replacement of the flywheel such as damage to the face caused by cracking or warping.
This extra machine shop charge needs to be weighed against the cost of the new part, sometimes it doesn't pay to try to save $10.
You also need new pressure plate and release bearing, and should really consider new transmission input shaft seal and engine rear main seal while access is easy.

First you've got to pull the transmission. After that you've got to take the plate with tines on it off and take the clutch off and take the flexplate or the flywheel off.

If adjustable, otherwise replace. Hyundai vehicles use a hydraulic clutch set up which are not adjustable. When replacing the clutch do not machine the flywheel; this changes the clearances and will cause clutch engagement issues.
