Your master cylinder either went dry or the valve got left open when someone let off of the brakes if you are using the "pedal pump" method. Get a second person and a vacuum break bleeder. Have one person make sure the fluid stays filled and the second operates the bleeder. When you stop seeing bubbles in the fluid make sure you close the valve before pulling the hose off of the bleeder valve. This should eliminate the possibility of pulling air into the system. Depending on how much air was pulled in before... It's a relatively quick process.

Did you refill the master cylinder
First I never had a Kia. But when I have bleed brakes I start at RR then LR next RF and lastly Left Front brake. Just do one at a time make sure you keep a eye on the master cylinder that it never looses oil. If it stops draining you can try tightening the bleeder plug you have loose and pump the brake and loosen the bleeder plug again. You can buy a brake bleeder manual pump at auto parts store but you still make sure the master cylinder never looses oil. If it looses oil you have a lot of bleeding to get the air out. (I have taken a hose suitable for brake fluid and put on the bleeder valve fitting and in jar which has brake fluid in it. Loose the bleeder valve fitting and pump the brakes slowly till no bubbles come out the hose. RR, LR, RF and LF. Takes Two People) I am assuming Kia have a bleeder valve.
SOURCE: unable to bleed front brakes
loosen the front brake line that goes to the master cylinder fill master cylinder up with fluid and bleed it first by attaching a flexible line from master cylinder front brake side submerge that line into jar of brakefluid keeping air from entering line get someone to pump brake pedal while ur holding line in a jar keep refilling the brake resivoir so no air gets in, once the master is bled front brake side then reattach the origional brake line then remove bleed screw from caliper and let fluid gravity flow down to calliper then bleed the normal way. more than likely your master cylinder has air trapped in the front portion good luck
SOURCE: no brake pressure
should not need to bleed module try giving the proportion valve afew good smacks sometimes this will dislodge the valve then rebleed

Why were the brake lines replaced?
Sounds like the mastercylinder may have run dry. You have to bench bleed the master and then DO NOT allow fluid to run low, while bleeding brakes...
if master cylinder runs low on fluid and air gets in, almost impossible to bleed with out releasing the lines and bleed master it self.
SOURCE: Brakes won't bleed?
if this has ABS then u need a special tool to bleed the brakes, the dealer has this tool. The dealer will charge about $50 to do this job
