The manual may say the headrests cannot be removed but they can. Follow the simple instructions in my video to remove them and reinstall them should you need to for whatever reason.

Video is on a 2012 Genesis Sedan 5.0 R-Spec but this should apply to all first gens.

All you need is a few mins of time and needle nose pliers.
