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.
i get what you mean , but I know EK staff proactively offer the UM lounge as alternative for denying unaccompanied minors to the big boy lounge , aka first or business class lounge in concur at A,B,C.
