Nope, they won't allow him in as he is not UM in the airline sense. UM means a minor who is unaccompanied and for whom the airline takes special responsibility and actively manages the travel experience. Minors are able to travel unaccompanied but not as a "UM". I spent many years travelling as both UM and "unaccompanied" without an escort. Lucky for me there was a UM area INSIDE the lounge and I was able to walk out and get snacks from the lounge. This wasn't on EK, though.
